Portable charger

Hi Josh,

Thank you for your question. These types of smartphone accessories are very convenient, but disposing of electrical equipment like this can be confusing!

Portable chargers are not accepted in any of your kerbside bins.

Because they contain potentially hazardous and valuable materials, they don’t belong in landfill and can’t be recovered through most kerbside recycling systems.

To ensure the valuable metals inside are safely recovered, please check Recycle Mate to find your closest electronic waste drop-off point. There are thousands of locations across Australia that collect portable chargers and other e-waste. Simply use the search function and type “charger” to find options near you.

I hope this helps!

Thanks again for your recycling question. Every enquiry helps us build a stronger platform for better recycling solutions.
