E-waste

Free disposal of televisions and computers

Eastern Riverina residents and small businesses can now access a free service to drop off their old televisions, computers and computer components. Kurrajong Recyclers and the Riverina Eastern Regional Organisation of Councils (REROC) have joined forces with Drop Zone by MRI E-Cycle Solutions to provide the service with e-waste drop zones placed in council landfills across the region.

The collection of e-waste in the REROC region commenced in July 2013 and since that time over 400,000  kilos has been collected from participating council areas.
