[Year 12 IT Apps] [OT] E-Waste

[Lawson, James]

Try contacting B2C Recycling at http://www.b2crecyclers.com.au/ 

They are great guys and ensure that equipment is disposed of properly.
Cost for recycling is $2 each for a PC and $15 each for 15inch screens.
They collect, but may not be able to go out of Metro area.


There is also the state government Byte Back scheme where you can leave
stuff at most council waste collection centres for free - but they do
not dispose of everything properly.

In your case, with so much stuff they may come to you to collect.

I was just wondering how other dispose of their old computers once they
are
finished with them.  We have about 100 or so computers and 15inch
Monitors
that need to be disposed of and can't imagine that anyone will want them
but
we are also aware of the environmental hazards of putting computers into
tips.  We are a country school but we could get a truck and take them to
a
recycling place if anyone would actually have them.
