e-Waste Recycling

E-waste recycling provides Australian businesses with secure, environmentally responsible disposal of obsolete electronic equipment while protecting sensitive data and recovering valuable materials.

Old computers, hard drives, mobile devices, and office electronics contain both confidential information requiring destruction and recyclable components that shouldn't end up in landfill.

Professional e-waste recycling services combine data security with environmental sustainability, ensuring your outdated technology is handled responsibly from collection through final disposal.

What is e-Waste?

E-waste encompasses any discarded electronic equipment including computers, monitors, printers, servers, mobile phones, tablets, and peripherals such as external hard drives. As technology evolves rapidly, Australian businesses accumulate obsolete equipment that takes up valuable storage space while potentially harboring sensitive data.

Old hard drives, USB sticks, CDs and DVDs contain confidential business information that requires complete destruction. Simply erasing, reformatting, or even degaussing (storage devices isn't sufficient—physical destruction is the only guarantee of data security.

Electronic waste represents one of the fastest-growing waste streams globally. E-waste recycling diverts toxic materials like lead, mercury, and cadmium from landfill while recovering valuable metals and components for reuse, all while ensuring your business data remains secure.

It's nice to be able to pick up the phone and speak to the team and trust your request will be sorted. Great service and team! Thanks.

I haven’t had a chance until now to say thank you very much for all your years of service to our office.  Nothing was ever too much trouble for you.

Anna Bencic, Worksafe Victoria

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all your assistance with this project. It was quite demanding and required a fairly big effort from yourself the rest of your team.

I believe I will be contacting you again in perhaps 2-4 weeks with a view to destroying additional tapes. As the previous task was fairly large, I will endeavour to reduce the quantity per day of destruction, so we may have another 2 trips to plan. Nonetheless, as soon as we are ready, I’ll be in touch.

Thank you for the quick and friendly service from the team at Corporate Document Destruction. I was very impressed with the fact that when I called I spoke directly to a human being (no call centre!), and they made my pick up their highest priority. Thanks again!

Meri H., CEO, Digital Marketing Company, Melbourne CBD

Thanks to Alex and the team at Corporate Document Destruction for their excellent and efficient service. We have a home office and had accumulated a few plastic tubs of documents that were too sensitive and personal to be thrown in the recycle bin. After talking with Alex he organised a bin to be delivered, the driver helped us load all our documents into the secure bin and took it right away. I never realised this would be so easy.
