Your Tech Can Have Another Life

Free, secure reuse and recycling in Sydney Metro

Where you live, work and learn...

We believe tech should stay in use for as long as possible.

 

It should never go to landfill.

 

That’s why we prioritise repair and reuse, extending the life of devices and reducing unnecessary waste.

​

When it’s had its day, your tech can be safely and securely recycled so its metals and plastics become something new.

​

Our collection services are 100% free for homes, businesses, schools and government across the Sydney metro region. We also provide a drop-off hub for customers across Australia.

How We Protect Your Data

We fully and irretrievably destroy all data on all your devices.

​

If it can be reused, it is either reset to factory settings, or the hard drive is fully erased using Active@KillDisk. 

 

If we can't reuse it, your device is shredded then smelted. No data survives.

​

If you remove your device from your cloud account, then reset it to factory settings, this also protects your data. 

​

Can't do this? That's not a problem. The device can be used for parts or fully recycled.

​

Still have questions? Feel free to call, text or email us. 

 

Sometimes a quick chat can  set your mind at ease.

How We Can Afford to be Free

We're often asked:  "How can you afford to run a business without charging?"

 

We focus on technology, audio equipment, computer games tech and cameras. These are all items that can be reused or have enough value as scrap to cover the costs of transport and processing. This enables us to remain a free service and continue to operate. 

​

​Items such as vacuums, blenders, home appliances, coffee machines, lamps, etc are metal or plastics. They fall under the category of metal scrap and require different machines to process than the ones our recycling partners use.

 

Also, they do not have enough value to cover the costs of transport. This is why metal scrappers often charge fees.

​

See our FAQ page for a more detailed explanation.

​​​​​​

Kofi donations also go a long way to helping us cover costs to maintain a free service. ​​​​
