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.
Free disposal
Brisbane residents can, as part of the National Television and Computer Recycling Scheme, dispose of e-waste at the transfer stations for free. The transfer stations will accept a maximum of 15 items per delivery of televisions, computers and computer products including printers and scanners free of charge from householders and small businesses.
E-waste recycling bins are provided at the transfer stations for your recyclable e-waste items. Place your recyclable e-waste items in the marked e-waste bins inside the transfer station's shed.
