ELECTRONIC WASTE RECYCLING
As the world around us begins thinking more critically about environmental waste and the importance of recycling, it’s crucial to consider what else may be recyclable. There are many products we use day-to-day that can be reused – we just might not realise it.
Electronic waste such as mobile phones, computers, electrical items, appliances, and other electronics all contain valuable materials that can be recovered and reused to build new products. These electronic devices are not just waste – they are full of raw materials that can be safely recycled through proper waste disposal channels.
Here at Tall Ingots, we offer professional recycling for e-waste Brisbane residents need to get rid of, helping households, tradies, and businesses safely and responsibly dispose of old electronic items – with the added bonus of a potential cash rebate. We handle both household appliances and commercial quantities of electrical equipment and electronic products.
We aim to reduce waste by providing environmentally friendly e-waste services in Brisbane city and the surrounding areas. No matter what your device, we aim to help you with efficient and effective customer service and professional workers who will get the job done.

What We Recycle
Computers, Smartphones and Other Smart Devices
Tall Ingots can purchase the individual components of disassembled devices. This includes:
- Motherboards
- Hard drives
- Power supplies
- CPUs and RAM
- Video cards
- Other internal hardware
You may be wondering why it’s important to recycle your old computers or mobile phones with us. With Australians replacing tech more frequently than ever, millions of devices – including unwanted computers and older models – end up in landfills every year. This wastes non-renewable resources and increases hazardous materials in the environment.
Using our e-waste recycling Brisbane service helps preserve those materials and keeps toxic components out of the environment.
Computer Accessories
As computer use increases, so does the number of accessories being discarded. Most computer accessories – such as mice, keyboards, webcams, USB drives, modems, and routers – contain the same hazardous materials as larger devices.
When you bring these items to us, we extract recyclable components and safely process them. We recycle computers and their accessories with care, keeping sensitive data secure.
MEDICAL FILM
Medical products may not immediately come to mind when thinking about e-waste, but X-ray, CT, and MRI films are coated with silver, which can be recovered. The plastic film is also recyclable. Recycling these items reduces the need for silver mining and helps protect natural resources.
Domestic Appliances
Old and broken household appliances can create clutter and mess – but they also contain valuable components that are recyclable. We accept:
- Fridges
- Washing machines
- Microwaves
- Other white goods
We dismantle these products, recover their electronics and recycle the remaining parts through our ferrous material recycling service. We also accept electrical products and electrical items in working order or otherwise, including donated items.
Our E-Waste Recycling Process
Our process is quick, simple, and environmentally friendly. Whether you’re recycling a few old laptops or disposing of commercial quantities of electrical equipment, we make it easy.

Step 2: Sorting and Safe Handling
Once received, our team assesses and sorts your items. We separate electronic waste recycling such as unwanted computers, computer accessories, lead acid batteries, and electrical items. This ensures that hazardous materials are identified and handled responsibly.
We take data security seriously – if you’re recycling laptops, computers, or servers, all sensitive data is securely destroyed as part of our process.
Step 3: Get Paid for Valuable Scrap
Some items contain valuable materials like copper, silver, or aluminium. If your electronic devices or components qualify, we’ll provide you with a competitive rebate based on current scrap value.
From hard drives to power tools and smart devices – we’ll let you know if there’s value in your load.
Step 4: Responsible Recycling
Everything that can be recycled is processed through our on-site resource recovery centre. Our environmentally safe practices help reduce landfills, recover raw materials, and support a more sustainable solution to waste disposal.
