Personal / Single Donations

Laptop sales are increasingly more popular and demand for Desktop computers is falling. Computerbank is pleased to accept donations of all brands of clean (not damaged) laptops and tablets suitable for refurbishment and reuse, however we are unable to accept:

These items should be taken directly to a waste transfer station for responsible recycling, there is generally no charge for household electronic waste recycling. You can find more information on nearby recycling / eWaste centers and resources at:

Disposal of eWaste in landfill will be banned from July 2019 in Victoria however eWaste is still able to be recycled for no charge at designated points across Australia. For more information on this change please see Sustainability Victoria: eWaste.
