COVID-19
All our services are running normally but please follow the procedures we have in place to protect our staff and the community.
For official information visit the Government COVID-19 website.
DO NOT DUMP ITEMS AND DO NOT SEND UNSOLICITED PARCELS
We have had a number of cases where items for recycling are sent without contact information, dumped at our premises, or left in the letterbox.
PLEASE CONTACT US BEFORE SENDING OR LEAVING ANY ITEMS WITH US.
There is usually a $5 handling fee. Many items have low scrap value and also require processing for achieving a good environmental outcome.
Volunteers wanted
If you like taking things apart and like to help with saving the environment consider volunteering for us.
E-waste is an increasing part of the waste stream and you can help us to reduce the scale of the problem.
Welders
We now accept welding and plasma cutting equipment for repair. We have two technicians who are experienced with repairing welding and related equipment.
Price drop for CRT monitor recycling
We have dropped the price of CRT monitor recycling from $30 to $10 to reflect the lower costs for their recycling.

Lost in translation
I came across this sticker on a no name piece of rubbish masquerading as weigh scales. I am pretty sure that the sticker is supposed to say “Warranty void if removed”. Not only is the English complete nonsense but there … Continue reading
To state the obvious…
I had to laugh when I came across this bit of Korean made gear: Check out the handle. It has got the word “handle” embossed into it! I don’t know why they felt that they had to do that. It … Continue reading
