Electronic waste
Electronic waste (e-waste) includes electronic items such as desktop computers, monitors, mobile phones, printers, televisions, scanners and video game consoles.
You cannot put e-waste into your wheelie bin. E-waste can be disposed of at one of Brisbane City Council's transfer stations. General waste charges will apply or you can use general waste vouchers.
E-waste recycling bins are also provided at the transfer stations for recyclable e-waste items.
Electronic waste collection is another way Council is growing a clean and green Brisbane as part of our shared vision - Living in Brisbane 2026.
