For broken computers
*Byteback* is a free service, available to residents and small business
owners in Victoria who want to dispose of unwanted, old and unused computers
in a safe and environmentally responsible way.
When dumped in our landfills the materials and chemical components used to
make computer equipment can leach into, and harm, our environment.
*Location*
City of Boroondara Waste Transfer Station
648 Riversdale Road, Camberwell (Melway 60 B1)
Phone: (03) 9278 4444
*Opening hours *
Byteback is open weekdays from 1pm-4pm and weekends from 8am-4pm.
*What can I take to Byteback?*
Personal computer systems including desktops, laptops, computer mice,
monitors, printers, scanners, keyboards, computer power supplies, printed
circuit boards, motherboards, network and memory cards, disk and CD drives.
A limit of 20 items per visit applies.
*The following items are not accepted:*
Joysticks, Play Stations, electronic games, software, digital cameras,
electronic equipment, TVs, videos, hi-fi equipment, mobile phones, printer
cartridges and copiers.
*What happens to equipment after collection?*
The equipment is transported to a specialised electronic recycling and
recovery centre. Equipment is disassembled into its parts (plastic, precious
metals, batteries, cathode ray tubes, printed circuit boards, insulated
wiring) and sent off to various parts of Australia and the world for
recovery and recycling.
*Tips:*
Save or delete important documents or files from your computer’s hard drive
prior to recycling it.
Observe safe lifting procedures by using your leg muscles, not your back.
Ensure there is no broken glass or sharp, protruding objects on the
equipment.
Byteback, an initiative of Sustainability Victoria, the City of Boroondara,
Hewlett Packard (HP), Sims E Recycling and K&S Environmental, is the first
long term computer takeback pilot of its kind in Australia.
For computers in working order
If your equipment is still in good working order we recommend you donate it
to a charity, organisation or person who is able to reuse it.
Here is a list from Clean Up Australia on where to take your computers in
