Recycling Old TV's & Monitors |
We all want to know what to do with e-waste: old television sets, computers, printers, phones and screens.
Australia now has recycling schemes and companies that specialise in collection and recycling services.
The National Television and Computer Recycling Scheme is managed by Australian Government: Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment.
Some companies like MobileMuster run a recycling program of the Australian mobile phone industry.
National Television and Computer Recycling Scheme
The National Television and Computer Recycling Scheme (NTCRS) was established in 2011. It gives Australian households and small businesses free access to industry-funded collection and recycling services.
These services are for televisions and computers including printers computer parts and peripherals.
How does the scheme work?
Companies who import or manufacture television and computer products over certain thresholds are liable under the scheme and are required to pay for a proportion of recycling through membership in a co-regulatory arrangement.
How can I access an e-waste recycling service?
Members of the public and small businesses can drop television and computer products at designated collection points for recycling.
For more information on the National Television and Computer Recycling Scheme, contact 1800 332 783.
