Unwanted Televisions and Obsolete Computers Dodge Landfill
Announcement posted by Infoactiv 14 Nov 2012
The Australia and New Zealand Recycling Platform Limited (ANZRP) recently launched the TechCollect program; a free e-waste recycling service for the general public and small business to drop-off unwanted televisions and computer products.
In partnership with a growing number of local councils, the TechCollect program will be running e-waste collection events on a regular basis across metropolitan and regional locations.
This weekend's events include:
- Saturday 17 November: Epping Depot from 9:00am to 5:00pm, 68-96 Houston Street, Epping, City of Whittlesea, Victoria.
- Sunday 18 November: Meadowbank Netball Courts carpark (end of Adelaide Street), from 9:00am to 3:00pm, Meadowbank, City of Ryde, NSW.
Unwanted computers, computer accessories and televisions can be dropped off for recycling, free of charge. The collected e-waste will then be recycled for use in manufacturing new products, instead of going into landfill.
TechCollect is fully funded by ANZRP’s members, more than 60 manufacturers and importers of televisions and computer products, that have chosen ANZRP to deliver sustainable environmental outcomes on their behalf; companies who are putting environmental outcomes first.

- Computer
equipment including any brand of desktop, laptop, monitors, mice, keyboards,

This collection is free for the general public and small business only.
