Did you know that your e-waste is packed full of valuable metals and plastics that can be used to create other electronic products? Lets make the most of those resources. Recycle your e-waste at Mosman Councils free e-waste drop off day on Sunday 11 September.

Residents from Mosman and Sydney-wide are invited to drop off their unwanted e-waste items. They contain many finite resources such as gold, copper and silver. Some materials contained in e-waste are extremely toxic to our environment, containing high levels of lead and mercury. We shouldn’t let these items end up in landfill!

Items collected will be sent to MRI for recycling, diverting more than 98% of material from landfill.

For security, data should be cleared from devices.
