Can you give me a exact quote over the phone or by email?
When you contact us, we’ll ask you some questions about the ewaste you need removed.
Based on that information, we can give you a price estimate. When we’re onsite, our
drivers will assess the exact volume and type of the ewaste and give you a exact price
for your approval before any loading begins. But until we see the exact type and volume
to be removed, we can’t give you an exact quote.
Do you have any guarantees?
Yes! We guarantee that we won’t begin any loading until you’re happy with our firm quote.
Everything that we remove goes to the recyclers
Do I have to be onsite for you to remove ewaste?
No, not necessarily, providing that our driver can get access to your ewaste. When we arrive
onsite, we’ll give you a quick call to confirm the price with you, then begin work.

Fact 5
Australia is one of the few developed countries that still allows E waste to be dumped in landfill. This is broken up and over time leaches out into groundwater, contaminating soil, waterways and ultimately our children.
Fact 6
A standard sized cathode ray tube (CRT) monitor contains more than two kilos of lead. The toxicity of lead has been well known for centuries, with children particularly susceptible to its effects. PC components contain other toxins such as mercury, phosphor, barium, cadmium, hexavalentchromium, beryllium and bromated flame retardants.
