E-waste
E-waste (or electronic waste) means anything with a cord or battery such as mobile phones, TV, kitchen appliances, laptop, headphones etc.
Never bin your batteries and e-waste. Binning batteries and e-waste are harmful to the environment and a fire risk.
Safe disposal options
Residents can drop off their old electronics and batteries at the Melton Recycling Facility for free.
E-waste is growing three times faster than standard local waste. Not sending these to landfill will recover more precious resources and help protect the environment from potentially hazardous materials. Recovered e-waste is carefully disassembled and suitable components are shredded, sorted and repurposed to be used in new batteries, electronics, homewares and more.
E-waste items accepted at the permanent drop-off site include:
- Batteries (all types)
- computers and keyboards
- cords
- mobile phones
- televisions and radios
- headphones
- air conditioners
- whitegoods
- small appliances
- fluorescent lights
- power tools
- printer cartridges
Please note this facility cannot accept commercial quantities of any free disposal items and non-residents may be charged a fee.
Find your nearest drop-off locations to safely dispose batteries and certain electronic items. Locations include Aldi, Woolworths, Total Tools, Officeworks, Bunnings, The Good Guys etc. Accepted items vary at each location.
