In 2022 we processed 3,286,059 kg of materials and recycled 338,350 items. We have to thank the many Western Australian councils and businesses we service for recycling. Councils come in all sizes, so we worked out the per capita recycling rate based on the most recent census and we’re excited to share the top ten metro and top ten rural councils for e-waste recycling in 2022.
