Re: Sydney E-Waste experiences

http://whatson.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/events/9002-2011-e-waste-drop-off-day

Note 1: you need proof of residence.
Note 2: that page has a link to http://www.ozrecycle.com/ about which I 
know nothing.
Note 3: If you want to recycle rather than re-use, then you can drop 
stuff off at Sim's Metal (there is one in Burroughs Rd Alexandria that I 
know about). They accept any e-waste - you just drop and go.
Note 4: Other recyclers often charge YOU for taking e-waste!
