Hi Dean,
Thank you for your question—disposal of electronic items like these can definitely be confusing!
Tile tags are not accepted in any of your kerbside bins.
They contain potentially hazardous and valuable materials that don’t belong in landfill and cannot be recovered through most kerbside recycling systems.
To ensure the valuable metals inside are safely recovered, please use Recycle Mate to find your closest drop-off point accepting electronic waste. There are thousands of locations across Australia collecting portable chargers and other e-waste items.
Try searching for “charger” to find drop-off locations in your local area. Meanwhile, our team will add “tile tag” to the Recycle Mate database to help others in the future.
I hope this helps!
Thanks again for your recycling question and for letting us know this item wasn’t yet in the database. Every question helps us build a stronger platform for better recycling solutions.
Thanks Murphy
