Recent commissioned studies found that on average each household contains about 22 items of e-waste. This equates to about 12 million items of e-waste across the Perth metro area. Working on a principal of a 5% disposal rate, this suggests that about 615,000 items could be going to landfill each year in Perth. E-waste is becoming a predominant issue with local councils and corporations and people in the community are seeking alternate methods of disposal of e-waste.

Electronic equipment contains valuable materials that can be recovered for reuse. Land filling results in these materials unnecessarily being disposed of and hazardous substances being released into the surrounding soil and waterways and polluting the environment. The best and safest way to dispose of such electronic equipment is to reuse or recycle it.

CLAW Environmental is working toward a practical solution for e-waste and has established an e-waste recycling program out of our Welshpool recycling facility. As part of our total environmental solution, materials such as ferrous, non ferrous metals, plastics, batteries and packaging are channelled to approved and accredited vendors for recycling/treatment, ensuring responsible processing solutions that minimize landfill.

Charges for e-waste recycling do apply. Please contact us to discuss your requirements and we will provide you with a comprehensive proposal and pricing.
