Where does my e-waste go?
E-waste contractors Tekflow remove the items from Council's drop off locations and transport them to Tekflow’s recycle and recovery centres in Minto and Auburn. Diverting hazardous material away from landfill enables the valuable resources contained in e-waste to be recovered and reused. 95% of what is recovered is recycled.
View the A - Z Recycling Guide page for information on where to dispose other types of waste.
You can find regular updates on events and services on Council's What's On page and social media.
