E-waste collection

Electronic waste piled up

Council coordinates an annual e-waste drop-off day for residents to dispose of their electronic waste. E-waste is old, unwanted or broken electronic or electrical equipment. All items collected at our drop-off days are dismantled and the components reused in new products. Please remove any batteries from items prior to drop-off.
