Electronic waste or e-waste, which includes televisions, is a
growing problem in Australia. Recycling televisions recovers
valuable metals, plastics and glass, and prevents potentially
dangerous materials entering the environment. Australia now has
a free national recycling scheme for televisions (and
computers). Under the National Television and Computer Recycling
Scheme, every company that makes and/or imports TVs and
computers into Australia is required to pay for the end of life
recycling of these products. The largest organisation approved
under the national scheme is TechCollect; a not-for-profit
e-waste recycling service, representing over 60 of Australia's
leading technology importers and manufacturers. TechCollect is
committed to setting the standard for responsible e-waste
recycling. We are proud to have TechCollect as a supporter of
this page. As well as TechCollect, there are other organisations
and programs that recycle, refurbish and reuse televisions in
Australia. You can find them by searching
