E-waste drop-off
What is 'e-waste'?
E-waste is old, unwanted or broken electronic or electrical equipment.
Does Council collect e-waste?
No, but we hold an annual e-waste drop-off every year so residents can recycle their e-waste items. All items collected will be dismantled and the components reused in new products.
The next drop-off event is scheduled to be held between 9.00am and 2.00pm on 15 May 2021 at the Ocean View Carpark.
