E-waste

E-waste can be recycled free of charge at the Northern Sydney Community Recycling Centre (8 Waltham Street, Artarmon). 

Small electronics are accepted as part of our recycling doorstep pick-up service RecycleSmart.

Electronic waste - also known as e-waste - is a high priority for recycling. This is because e-waste generally contains high-value, recyclable metals. If these materials go to landfill, they can become hazardous to both humans and the environment.

E-waste is NOT allowed in your weekly rubbish collection.

E-waste is NOT allowed in kerbside Clean Up services.
