Hi David
Am writing from Fiji and used to work for a company that exported waste recycables in 20footers to Brizbane. Am intrested in establishing an ewaste recycling collection here and sending a container to Brizbane once a month in mid 2012 for recycling. Do you allow for this if so do your prefer this in 100-300kg bales or in loose form.

regards

Hi David,

Unfortunately we don’t service your area. We recommend contacting your local council to see if they have any collection days for your electronic waste. For old DVD’s and videos you can often sell them online.

Thanks

Hi Tim, Yes, all fridges we collect in Brisbane are degassed and recycled in Australia in accordance with Australian standards. In addition all electronic waste we collect is recycled in Australia and governed by the ISO14001 standards – we are passionately against the export of ewaste to developing nations.

Do you extract and dispose of the refrigerant from the fridges? Or do you, or someone in India vent the gas into the atmosphere?

Hi E-waste,

I am involved in conducting a waste audit of a firm where I am employed as an intern. Like most firms, even they generate e-waste. I would just like to know if you extend your services to business houses in Brisbane CBD and if there’s a cost involved?

Thanks.

Hi Michael, Great idea and one that we’re looking into – we just have to get the local councils on-board. Hopefully we can activate services like this in the not to distant future. Thank you.

Hi E-waste, have you considered sending a truck down the Qld. coast with e-waste pick ups in regional council depots (Cairs, Townsville, Mackay, Rockhampton, Bundaberg, etc) along the way, maybe twice a year could be worthwhile?
