A free pop-up community event allowing residents to easily dispose of e-waste.

We’re inviting northern Gold Coast residents to drop off old electrical items and help keep e-waste out of landfill. If it doesn’t bring you joy, doesn’t work or doesn’t hold charge anymore, you can simply drive thru and drop it off.

It's time to clear out that old computer or old draw with old cords, random cables and broken electrical gadgets.

We’re coming closer to you to help make it easier to recycle e-waste. It’s quick and easy at a convenient drive thru location.

Did you know the average Australian home has over 30 battery powered or electrical items. How many do you have? Do you use them? Do they even work? Make sure you recycle your e-waste – this is the perfect opportunity.
