Dispose of your stockpiled e-waste for free at our Sunday drop off event. Please read the details below before attending.
See what
year-round disposal options are available for some of your items, or see if our
verge collection service will take them.
How to attend the event:- You can load e-waste into your vehicle and head to the Operations Centre (earlier is better).
- Join the queue of vehicles on Bramanti Road, present your proof-of-residence at the first checkpoint (e.g. current rates notice or driver's license) and follow staff direction.
- Pull up your vehicle to a disposal station. Our crew will open your boot and doors to unload waste with your direction. You're free to assist with staff's permission.
- Once done, slowly make your way back out to Bramanti Road. Be mindful of pedestrians and other vehicles.
Please note:- This event is for City of Melville residents only. Please bring proof-of-residence via a current rates notice, bill or driver’s license. Address must be visible.
- We do not accept e-waste from businesses (commercial e-waste).
- We strictly finish at 1.00pm. The event can get busy with long queues, so arrive early.
What kinds of e-waste is accepted? We accept most household electronics and appliances which can be easily carried by hand. Some examples include:
- monitors, TVs, phones, tablets
- computers, mice, keyboards, headsets, speakers, amps
- cables, USBs, CDs, DVDs and their players
- hair straighteners, electric toothbrushes, shavers
- small kitchen appliances like cookers, blenders, toasters, electric kettles
We
do not accept vehicle parts, white goods (fridges, washers), solar panels and their parts or anything that cannot be carried by hand.
Can I drop off bulk cardboard? Yes. We accept bulk amounts of cardboard and paper which will be sent for recycling. Please make sure all cardboard and paper is clean, dry and not any smaller than A5 size (~200mm in diameter).
Can I drop off bulk polystyrene? Yes, but please bag up any polystyrene smaller than your hand (including beans) so that it doesn’t blow away. Polystyrene will be loaded into our general waste truck.
Can I drop off X-rays? Yes, we will accept x-rays for the foreseeable future.
Can I drop off hazardous waste like paint and gas bottles? To focus on the growing amounts of e-waste, we’re slowly scaling back on our household hazardous waste (HHW) collections. This is because a free, State-funded drop-off service operates year-round for all WA residents.
All of our residents can drop off nearby licensed facilities in Fremantle, Canning Vale and Wattleup, or any other facility listed on the
Household Hazardous Waste website. Please read the accepted items lists, limits and other conditions.
For now, we will still be accepting the hazardous waste items in the accepted items list on the HHW website,
excluding fire extinguishers and flares.
What happens to the e-waste after it’s collected? Collected e-waste will be sent to Total Green Recycling for processing. All personal data is destroyed, and raw materials are recovered. Items which can be reused, and don't hold data, may be repurposed.
