Where to take your EWaste..

The Shire of Merredin is your nearest collection point and is now accepting residential Electronic Waste at the Merredin Waste Management Facility. Residential e-waste can be disposed of for free, while the commercial rate is $5.00 per item.
This aims to accommodate the 2024 ban on e-waste to landfill, accepting various e-waste types such as TVs, printers, computers, cables and kitchen appliances of all brands and models. Some items may not be accepted as reprocessing services are limited in the region - such as various medical electronic waste.
E-waste must be dropped at the e-waste bins. Please notify the staff on location before dropping off for record keeping and directions.
E-waste is defined as the following:
  • Any item that has an electrical cord to operate, including toasters, blenders, heaters, vacuum cleaners, and air conditioning units.
  • Any item that has a battery for operation, including toys, remotes, calculators, phones, clocks, and flashlights.
Items disposed of as e-waste cannot be purchased from the Tip Shop, and will be removed to an appropriate recycling facility.
