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.

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.
