E-Waste Recyclers School Partnership Program
In the digital age, schools across Australia are at the forefront of technology adoption, equipping students with the tools they need for modern education. However, this rapid technological integration comes with an often-overlooked consequence: the accumulation of electronic waste. E-Waste Recyclers, pioneering sustainable electronics recycling in Sydney, is here to turn this challenge into an opportunity for public and private schools throughout New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and the Northern Territory.

The Growing E-Waste Challenge in Australian Schools
Australian educational institutions, from primary schools to universities, generate a significant amount of e-waste annually. From outdated computers and tablets to old printers and smartboards, the list of potential electronic waste in schools is extensive. Consider these common sources of school e-waste:
Computers and laptops
Tablets and e-readers
Printers and scanners
Interactive whiteboards and projectors
Audio-visual equipment
Scientific calculators
Electronic lab equipment
Networking hardware
On average, a typical Australian school might replace 50-100 computers every 3-5 years, not to mention the regular turnover of other electronic devices. This cycle of upgrade and disposal contributes significantly to the nation’s e-waste problem, affecting both government-funded public schools and independent private schools alike.
The Australian government has recognised the growing e-waste challenge. The National Television and Computer Recycling Scheme (NTCRS), established under the Product Stewardship Act 2011, mandates the responsible recycling of televisions and computers. While this is a step in the right direction, many electronic devices used in schools fall outside this scheme.
Moreover, several states have banned e-waste from landfills, including Victoria (since July 2019) and South Australia (since September 2013). These regulations underscore the urgent need for comprehensive electronic waste management solutions in all sectors, including education.
At E-Waste Recyclers, we’ve developed a unique programme tailored to the needs of Australian schools. Our school e-waste recycling initiative not only helps educational institutions manage their electronic waste responsibly but also turns it into a fundraising opportunity.
Our School E-Waste Programme: Recycling for Education
- Convenient On-Site Collection: We can provide e-waste bins that can remain on school property, making it easy for students, parents, and staff to dispose of electronic waste responsibly.
- Regular Pick-Ups: Once the bin is full, we’ll collect it at no cost to the school, whether it’s a bustling public high school in Sydney or a small private primary school in rural Tasmania.
- Fundraising Opportunity: A percentage of the profits from recycling goes directly back to the school, funding initiatives like new gyms, sporting fields, or even new computers.
- Educational Support: We offer resources and workshops to educate students about e-waste and sustainable living, fostering environmental awareness from an early age.
- Community Engagement: Our programme extends beyond the school gates, allowing parents and community members to participate in the recycling efforts.
