What counts as e-waste?

If you're not sure if something is e-waste, ask one question: does it have a power cord or a rechargeable battery?

If yes, it’s e-waste. It goes to an approved collection point, not your wheelie bin.

At the transfer station, those devices are processed so the battery is removed safely and the metals and plastics are recovered.

Find out more at www.rethinkwaste.com.au/flammable-5 or find a recycling hub near you - many in northern Tasmania collect small e-waste: https://nrmnorth.org.au/circularnorth/recycling-hubs
