Electronic waste (e-waste) often contains toxic and hazardous materials like leaded glass and mercury, which need to be disposed of properly or risk harming the environment and people.

Other times, valuable materials like copper or other metals are recyclable and can be recovered to repair or manufacture new products.

Getting rid of electronic equipment can be complicated; let 1300 Rubbish handle it with guaranteed care and reliable service. From laptops to computer monitors, tablets or other electronic items, our team will remove any unwanted e-waste at a fixed, affordable price.

What happens to my computer monitor after you pick it up?

Once collected, your monitor will be taken to the appropriate recycling facility, where precious metals and plastics are recovered from the monitor to be reused in new products. This reduces the need for re-mining practices and the risk of e-waste hazards like fires.

1300 Rubbish is committed to responsible recycling and works hard to ensure all waste is disposed of properly. We work with our sister company, 1800 Ewaste, to ensure 95-98% of collected e-waste (calculated by weight) is recycled.

Can I put a computer monitor in a residential bin?

No, you cannot put a computer monitor in a residential bin. While it might seem convenient to drop your old tech in a wheelie bin, under the Product Stewardship Act 2011, manufacturers, importers and consumers share responsibility for e-waste collection and recycling. Not doing so can cause hazardous materials to leach into ecosystems, leading to serious ecological damage.

To protect the environment and your community, rely on an experienced waste management company like 1300 Rubbish.

What options do I have for computer monitor removal?

Your options for having your computer monitor safely and sustainably removed are:

• Use a rubbish-removal business like 1300 Rubbish
• Requesting a pick-up from your local council
• Taking your electronics to an E-Waste drop-off point
• Mail-donating used electronic devices to a recycling program.
• Sell your used devices online or at a local trade shop like CEX.
• Donate functional devices to a charitable organisation. Often, not-for-profits like St Vinnie’s take used tech like televisions as long as they’re in good working order. Other organisations like Bower run schemes that teach you how to refurbish your devices.

You can learn more from us about e-waste disposal and see what government schemes are running online.

What percentage of Australian e-waste is recycled?

According to a report from the Australian Government Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water, in 2019, Australia created 521,000 tonnes of e-waste. This number is projected to rise to an estimated 976,000 tonnes by 2030.

Of the e-waste produced in 2019, only 58,000 tonnes – 11% – was processed at a recycling plant. In 2024, UNITAR reported that e-waste is rising five times faster than documented E-waste recycling can account for.

1300 Rubbish proudly recycles 95-98% of collected e-waste through our sister company 1800 Ewaste. Not only do we want to help you clean up your home, but we also want to reduce the millions of tonnes of waste from growing.

Sometimes it can be difficult to know what to do with old white goods. Our client had some old electric heaters, furniture and toys that the kids had grown out of.

The team at 1300Rubbish are experts at diverting electronic waste (e-waste) from landfill. They will take the e-waste to registered recyclers so that the resources used in white goods can be recycled for future use. The team provided up-front pricing for the client and even swept up after they collected the rubbish.
