Garbage is piling up every single day. It’s no secret that your trash, alongside everybody else’s trash, is contributing to the tonnes of garbage that are being put up for collection and dumped in your local landfills.
Part of what you dispose of today might be your old electronic things like old wires, old appliances, or even the computer set you have put aside. Before you consider throwing your electronics to waste, you might want to consider assessing them for a good cause.
There are plenty of ways to recycle your electronic waste. There are also a lot of people who make an active involvement in taking steps and ways to help with proper garbage disposal and waste management.
You can help be part of the solution too.
These are some of the ways to recycle your electronic waste:
- Recycling facilities
One way for you to get rid of your old electronics is by bringing them to recycling facilities near you. A lot of facilities operate only for the sole purpose of recycling waste. Although it is quite pricey, it guarantees that the electronics you are going to throw away are put to good use afterwards. This is what your local recycling facilities do to your electronic garbage:
Sorting – they sort your e-waste and take out hazardous components e.g. batteries, before dismantling your electronics by part.
Shredding – the dismantled gadget goes through a shredder and comes out into smaller and finer particles, then shaken down to the conveyor belt for further refinement.
Separation – refined particles now go through a magnet to separate magnetic particles and metals from nonmetals.
Water separation – water separation technology then separates plastics particles from the glass.
Resell – recycling facilities sort out the separated components and can sell them as raw materials.
Your e-waste can go through this process and turn into reusable raw materials again. Although it is an expensive way to dispose of your waste, it will surely turn your waste into something of value.

Testimonials
Excellent service; quote given on the spot for major clean-up of household throw-outs. The team provides quick, efficient and courteous removal! Very satisfied customer.
We needed a few boys to come down to the building site and remove large amounts of materials after the demolition. Paul was very friendly and gave us all the info we needed. We scheduled for him to come down on the same-day as it was an urgent job. Not only did he arrive on-time and got the job done, he very professional throughout the clean-out and managed his team very well. Top job mate!
Paul did a splendid job with cleaning out our backyard. We had old fridges, computers, microwaves, timber flooring and heaps of other junk left over from our house renovation. Paul was quick to provide advice and how much it’d cost to get everything cleaned up. He arrived at a time which suited us best and left absolutely no rubbish behind. I can not stress how happy we are now that our family home is junk-free! Thank you!
Wanted to say a big thanks to Paul and his team for sorting out our rubbish on such late notice. Paul provided a fast and affordable quote, arrived on-time and had our rubbish totally removed within the time-frame we had given them. Can’t fault these guys whatsoever!
You guys are great, I’ll happily recommend you. I just wished I had found you sooner. I felt your price was a little too low when you quoted… so I didn’t think you would do such a good job… well done for proving me wrong.
Paul, sensational job as always, love how easy you make it look. Definitely won’t hesitate in calling you again should either my family or friends need rubbish removed. Thanks again!
Dear Paul, My husband told me what a great job you did in the kitchen, I got home and found every bit of our demolished kitchen removed and I just wanted to write and say thank you for doing it so quickly, thoroughly and for cleaning up afterwards as well. I would have no hesitation in recommending you. We both felt your price was very reasonable too. Many thanks.
