Residents are encouraged to clean out their studies and free up some cupboard space, as Council’s free electrical waste drop-off event is just around the corner.
In addition to the well-utilised Chemical CleanOut events, the e-waste collection provides an excellent opportunity for residents to safely recycle their electrical waste, which often cannot be disposed of in their red or yellow bins.
Canterbury-Bankstown Mayor Bilal El-Hayek said during the last round of collections in 2020, residents recycled more than 19 tonnes of electrical waste items.
“It’s so important that our community has a safe and convenient way to drop-off of their electrical waste,” Mayor El-Hayek said.
“It’s a win, win for everyone as many of these items can be recycled and turned into a variety of useful products to be used again and again.”
Council’s electrical waste collection will take place on Saturday 10 June, 9am-3.30pm at Bankstown Paceway.
Some of the items accepted, include:
- TVs, consoles and modems;
- Video recorders and DVD players;
- Monitors, desktops and laptops;
- Computer keyboards, mice and joysticks;
- Printers, scanners, faxes, photocopiers;
- Speakers and sound equipment;
- CDs, DVDs and tapes;
- Cameras;
- Phones (mobile and landline);
- Small household appliances (fans, alarm clocks, vacuum cleaners);
- Kitchen appliances (microwaves, kettles);
- Hand tools; and
- Cables, adapters and chargers.
