If you’ve got e-waste, let one of Australia’s most experienced e-waste recyclers tailor the perfect solution for you.
We have collection solutions for all sizes, from boxes to stillages and crane trucks, ensuring there’s no waste we can’t collect.
We accept and recycle all types of e-waste including computers, televisions, mobile phones and game consoles. Additionally, your old hard drives are disposed of in a way to wipe old data, keeping your privacy safe.
Within the EcoE-waste business the small fluoro tubes in older non-LCD tvs, laptops and monitors have a variety of compounds containing within them, including mercury. Ecocycle will take those small tubes containing mercury and reprocess them through their MRT crush and separation plants around Australia, recovering mercury from the powder collected.
Ecocycle can safely remove those small mercury containing tubes from TV’s, monitors and lap tops with its robotic, AI fully enclosed recycling machine. All mercury is contained within a sealed filtered room to ensure no mercury or vapours can escape. The tubes are safely collected by our trained staff for recycling through our crush and seperator equipment, recovering the mercury powder for distilling and refinement.
EcoE-waste is our specialist electronics recycling company that has the national coverage to pick up, process and sort all e-waste arisings into a comprehensive range of materials that are suitable for a range of recycling processes.

In a decisive move towards a sustainable future, Western Australia (WA) is poised to implement a groundbreaking e-waste landfill ban this year, marking a pivotal
Without a doubt the impact of e-waste continues to grow with its significant impact on the environment. Indeed, only 12% of the nation’s computers are recycled. At this time, Australia is the fourth highest generator of e-waste per capita in the world. Poorly managed e-waste means heavy metals and hazardous waste such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and brominated flame retardants leak into the environment. Clearly, the risks of data leaks are also increased if the device’s storage aren’t carefully treated.
The most rapidly growing class of waste is electronic waste (e-waste), and old computer monitors (and TVs) make up a significant fraction of our tech
When we think of e-waste, most attention focuses on the bits that do all the hard work – the batteries and printed circuit boards (PCBs).
