Northern Beaches Council has banned e-waste like TVs, computers and computer components from Bulky Goods Collection.

What is E-waste?

Televisions, desktop and portable computers, monitors, mice, keyboards, cables, drives, printers, scanners, projectors, computer speakers and computer-related peripherals.

Re-home

As a first priority, try to re-home these unwanted electronic items for reuse. You can pass them on to a friend or family member. Or if they don’t work anymore, try listing them online as spare parts.

What to do with other electronic items

You can put out certain electronic items for metal recycling at our bulky goods clean-up collections.

This includes game consoles, video recorders, DVD and Blu-ray players, toner cartridges, radios or stereos, power tools, universal power supplies and other electrical appliances as long as they are more than 80% metal. Your metals must be in a separate pile from the other goods you put out.
