We offer recycling of e-waste at our Adelaide hub. Sales of refurbished electronic goods also available. What is E-Waste?
We are backed by Bedford, so in addition to contributing to the circular economy, you will be supporting jobs for people with disability. Electronics Recycling Australia (ERA) is Adelaide's leading electronic recycling facility who offer a responsible way to recycle electronics achieving real environmental and social outcomes for South Australians. Electronic devices today are ubiquitous: smartphones, computers, TVs, printers and gaming consoles, to name a few, are used every day in our homes and businesses. With advances in technology these same devices are soon superseded. Electronic equipment and other devices when no longer wanted have become a problem and so are called e-waste. What is electronics recycling or e-cycling? Until recently most electronics have ended in conventional waste management and landfill. However the National Television and Computer Recycling Scheme is ensuring that importers and manufacturers recycle electronic equipment at no cost to the consumer. This is where e-cycling is doing something positive for the environment by diverting electronic equipment and other devices from landfill avoiding unnecessary waste and recovering valuable resources before they become an e-waste problem. To achieve this ERA offers a unique two tiered approach of reuse and recycle. Reuse for the community
Reusing technology has significant benefits to the environment not only reducing waste but also a smaller carbon footprint, as it requires energy to recycle materials. Consequently ERA identify technology that is still usable and make it available for sale at low cost. ERA is also participant in the Microsoft Refurbisher program meaning we can also offer low-cost computers with genuine Microsoft software for students and people with low incomes. Safe and effective e-recycling
ERA sorts and dismantles all electronic devices in our factory undercover and has deployed internationally recognised standards for environmental protection and work place safety. Using these standards ERA achieves a very high standard and can recover over 95% of usable materials diverting it from landfill. ERA does not reprocess any potentially hazardous materials on-site. Electronic equipment is dismantled and sorted into their different material categories (metal, glass, printed circuit boards and plastic). This is then shipped safely to environmentally responsible processors that ERA have assessed to provide the best environmental outcome.

We were thrilled to welcome East Waste to Electronic Recycling Australia last week for a tour and workshop to mark International E-Waste Day, exploring how responsible e-waste recycling helps protect our environment and create positive social impact.
The visit was a chance to see our recycling processes in action and learn more about what happens to electronic items when they reach the end of their useful life.
♻️ Here are a few facts about the impact of electronic recycling:
🔌Electronic Recycling Australia has the capacity to process up to 35,000 kg of e-waste every working day.
🔌Recycling just 1 kg of e-waste saves approximately 18 kg of CO₂ emissions.
🔌Through responsible recycling, we save approximately 64 million kg of CO₂ emissions each year.
🔌Our team hand-dismantles electronic components to recover recyclable materials and give them a second life.
And there’s an important social impact, too. As a Bedford Group enterprise, Electronic Recycling Australia creates meaningful employment opportunities for people living with disability.
Visit the Electronic Recycling Australia website to find out how you can responsibly recycle your unwanted electronic items.

We recently hosted a group of site managers from Bunnings Warehouse Australia at Electronic Recycling Australia and Bounce Back Mattress Recycling, where they explored how electronic waste and mattresses are processed, recovered and transformed into new uses.
The visit showcased the impact of the Unplug N Drop program, with Electronic Recycling Australia managing e-waste collection cages at 10 Bunnings stores across South Australia. Through this partnership, unwanted electronic items can be diverted from landfill and responsibly recycled, helping to keep valuable resources in circulation.
Thank you to the Bunnings team for visiting us to learn more about the recycling and resource recovery solutions and how it’s creating positive environmental and social outcomes across our communities. 🌱
