E-Waste scheme aims:

Increase recycling and decrease TV’s, Computers and Printers going to landfill.

Free of charge collection services such as TechCollect for the community and small business at designated locations across metro,

regional and remote locations.

This collection service is funded and run by the television and computer industry

A number of options when dealing with your old Printer or Multi-Function Centre® include:

Sell or swap it

If the machine is still working, give it away. This reduces waste and pollution too. Other options include selling it on

e-Bay or Gumtree for example.

Donate it

Some charities and social enterprises will accept used electronic equipment. Please phone first to check.
