E-waste recycling collection

1,300 cars and approximately 55 tonnes of e-waste collected last weekend!

Feedback from local residents during the e-waste collection on Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 March, was in praise of the efficient drive through service which resulted in over 500 cars turning up within the first 3 hours of the collection!

Residents were able to leave a wide variety of e-waste items including computers, printers, TV’s and more. We filled three 40 foot shipping containers – and there was still an overflow of 5 tonnes.

If you missed out on last weekend’s collection, please refer to our list of e-waste reuse and recycling options. Alternatively, Mosman residents can go to Kimbriki during business hours (7am – 5pm, 7 days a week), to drop off their e-waste.
