Television & Computer Recycling Scheme

Learn about Australia's product stewardship scheme for TVs and computers

In 2011 the Australian Government introduced a national, industry funded, recycling scheme for televisions, computers and computer accessories. The National Television and Computer Recycling Scheme prevents old and broken TVs and computers from being sent to landfill by providing the community with recycling services, free of charge. There are even some free services for businesses with larger quantities to recycle.

What can I recycle?

Electrical products generally accepted under the scheme include TVs, computers, monitors, laptops, printers, scanners, hard drives, motherboards, fax machines, webcams, keyboards, computer mice, and cables.

However, accepted products may differ depending on the recycler, so it is advisable to check beforehand (either directly or by searching the directory below and selecting the business for details). 

Five organisations are currently approved to deliver recycling services under the scheme. For more information on these organisations, including the types of products they accept for recycling, visit their websites:
