Hi Moshe,

Thanks for your question – you're absolutely right, disposing of computer accessories and electronics can get a bit confusing!

Items like hard drives and other electronic equipment contain both hazardous and valuable materials, so they definitely shouldn’t go in the regular bin or to landfill.

The best option is to take them to a proper electronic waste drop-off point. These facilities are set up to safely handle e-waste and make sure useful materials are recovered.

To find the best drop-off location near you, just jump on Recycle Mate – it’ll guide you to local options based on your council area.

Thanks again for getting in touch – and feel free to reach out any time if you’ve got more questions. We’re here to help!
