  1. A guide to recycling or repurposing your old electronics

  2. Introduction It is estimated that in 2021, around 1.5 billion mobile phones will be shipped. That averages out to be 1 for every 5 people. Unless they are traded in for a new device, each of those devices will eventually run their lifespan and become electronic waste. The most recent figures from the ABS show that the Australian economy generated 465,818 tonnes of e-waste in 2016-2017 with 253,507 tonnes (54.4%) ending up in landfill. Electronics can contain toxic substances such as lead, mercury and cadmium which must be disposed of carefully. Many of the materials used in making these products can be recovered and reused, including plastics, glass, metals and aluminum. No matter what, make sure you completely erase all your personal info off your devices. Here’s a few steps on how to safely recycle your electronics.

  3. How to safely repurpose your electronics • Donate it: Check with local organizations, charities and recreation centers to donate unused electronics. • Recycle it: Many phone shops offer recycling programs for used or broken phones. If you’re looking to upgrade your phone, you can look at trading in your old device. • Repair it: Lot’s of things can be repaired, search for local repair shops in your area and help out a small business. • Repurpose it: Sell devices that aren’t so old on sites like Gumtree or Facebook Marketplace. If you have family or friends who love to repurpose old gadgets to create something new, it might be worth donating those older devices to them for an upcoming project.
