Disposing of E-waste at the Waste Management Facilities

Residents can drop off domestic amounts of e-waste, including batteries, at waste management facilities in Aberdeen, Merriwa, Murrurundi, and Scone's Community Recycling Centre.

While there are costs to Council to provide and run the free e-waste service, correctly disposing of e-waste is good for human health and the environment.

Recycling means that useful material is collected, diverted from landfill and reduces the need to mine more natural resources. Correctly disposing of e-waste ensures that hazardous materials including lead, bromine, mercury and zinc do not leach out from landfills into waterways.
