About Electronic Waste

eWaste is electronic waste, the term given to discarded electronic devices.

It’s an increasing issue in our technology-driven world and one causing much impact on our environment, so it is crucial we act to reduce those negative effects.

Did you know?

Australians are among the highest users of technology and producers of eWaste:

99% of Australian households have at least one TV, and 55% have a second set

Australians buy more than 4 million computers and 3 million TVs annually

1.5 million televisions are discarded annually – if 75% were recycled, the savings would be:

23,000 tonnes of CO2 equivalents

520 megalitres of water

400,000 gigajoules of energy

160,000 cubic metres of landfill space

eWaste in landfills causes poisonous substances to seep into groundwater, contaminating soil and making its way into the food chain. Recycling eWaste is more complex than a plastic bottle – it must be broken into parts, its usable materials separated and toxic material safely disposed. At Secure Computer Recycling and Disposal, we are here to help your business reduce its environmental footprint. 

eWaste Dangers

eWaste is a compound problem – it’s not just about the space taken up in landfills, everyday eWaste contains some toxic substances:

  • Lead in cathode ray tubes and solder
  • Mercury in switches and housing
  • Arsenic in cathode-ray tubes
  • Antimony trioxide as flame retardant
  • Selenium in circuit boards
  • Cadmium in semiconductors
  • Cobalt in steel for magnets

What are the benefits?

Remarketing your old, redundant IT and communication assets is good for a number of reasons:

  • You will receive a return, which you could put into new IT assets
  • Remarketing reduces landfill and environmental eWaste
  • You are allowing the community to buy securely refurbished IT equipment at a lowered cost
  • Remarketing maximises the value of your IT equipment

TESTIMONIALS

Hear from our clients

Thanks for your efficient and professional service; you definitely made my job easy. 6.3 tonnes so far is excellent and look forward to promoting the final figure. Look forward to working together soon.

Alain Twynham
Transport Coordinator

I just thought I would express my appreciations for the work that your team has accomplished for HBF. While there were logistical issues with our suppliers, I found that SCRD was on top of its game in arranging on-time collections which have impressed the branch network to no end and given them confidence in ongoing direct collections. You have our thanks for the good work.

Anthony Rinaldi
Desktop Coordinator

Please find attached a copy of the purchase order for this request. I’d also like to point out the quality of the service that Rachael had provided during her time here. She was friendly, professional and efficient. She deserves a gold star at the very least.

Brayden Arnold
Senior Service Desk Office

Yes, all went pretty well, no major issues. We couldn’t get rid of quite all we wanted but that was purely our end – we’ll be ensuring we’re have greater readiness for the next time. That said, the pickup went absolutely fine, we’ve cleared out the racks we absolutely needed to & we’ll come back to you when we’re ready to send off the rest. My compliments to the team, no hassles & got the job done.

Andrew Pilcher

Brett and his team are extremely professional and trustworthy. They are the real deal when it comes to refurbishments and large volume data erasing. Unfortunately this industry has a lot of backyard operations and you have to be very careful.

They offered extremely competitive pricing for the services we required, all while meeting our privacy and recycling needs. We were able to arrange for pick-up within a very short timeframe which was very convenient for our client. Their logistics team were very quick and quiet on the day of pick-up with no disruption to the office around them and exhibiting high levels of professionalism.
