What eWaste Do We Collect?
Telco Broker accepts a wide range of IT, office, and telecommunications equipment, ensuring valuable materials are recycled and hazardous waste is diverted from landfill.
Telecommunications Equipment
Business Phone Systems and PBX Units – If your phone system is end of life or being upgraded, your telco likely won’t recycle this old equipment but we do.
Modems, Routers, and Switches – Crucial for internet connectivity, don’t throw them in the bin, save them up for recycling.
Mobile Phones, Tablets, and Accessories – These items contain valuable minerals such as cobalt, lithium, and rare earth metals. Recycling helps recover these materials and reduces the demand for virgin mining.
VoIP Handsets and Conferencing Devices – Used for digital telephony solutions, these devices unfortunately get thrown out if they aren’t compatible with your new phone system and have little resale value, let us recycle them for you.
IT and Office Equipment
Desktop Computers, and Laptops – These devices store sensitive data and typically only have a short lifespan and reach obsolescence after 3 – 5 years. When these devices are replaced or upgraded, we can recycle them, diverting hazardous chemicals from landfill and our waterways.
Servers, Data Storage Devices, and Networking Hardware – Critical for IT infrastructure, these devices support cloud computing, network management, and enterprise data storage. Recycling prevents hazardous eWaste accumulation and ensures data security through secure destruction. We offer specific hard drive secure destruction, (cost per unit applies).
Data Centre Equipment – This includes rack-mounted servers, switches, power distribution units (PDUs), fans and cooling systems.
Monitors, Keyboards, Mice, and Cables – Common office peripherals that you might be throwing in the bin without a second thought is all eWaste and can be responsibly recycled. We can also recycle old any charging cables, computer and monitor cables etc.
Printers, Copiers, and Scanners – Widely used in office environments, these devices contain a lot of recyclable materials which require proper disposal to avoid environmental harm. If you have a large multi-function printer you are looking to recycle, we prefer if you were to bundle it up with your other eWaste and combine it for a larger pickup. We are happy to pick up a standalone multi-function printer, but charges will apply.
Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS), and Battery Backups – Essential for preventing data loss during power outages, these units contain lead-acid or lithium-ion batteries that require specialised recycling to prevent hazardous waste contamination.
Enterprise and Commercial Hardware
Enterprise IT, Commercial Hardware and Data Centre Equipment
Racks and Server Cabinets – If you are upgrading, moving or shutting down your data centre or communications room and don’t know what to do with your old server racks and storage, we can recycle them along with any other electrical equipment and cabling that is left over.
Audio-Visual Equipment – This includes projectors, screens, speakers, and any video conferencing tools.
Security and Surveillance Systems – Used in corporate and commercial environments, these devices include CCTV cameras, biometric scanners, alarm systems and associated wiring.
Point-of-Sale (POS) Terminals – Essential for retail transactions, POS systems integrate hardware such as barcode scanners and payment processors, all of which can be recycled at the end of their life cycle.
Other eWaste Categories
Cables, Power Supplies, and Adaptors – These items contain copper, aluminium, and plastic insulation materials that can be recycled efficiently. We also collect and recycle Cat5 and Cat6 networking cables.
Toner Cartridges and Electronic Accessories – Printer cartridges contain residual toner powder and plastic that require specialised recycling to prevent environmental contamination.
Industry-Specific Electronic Equipment – This includes medical devices, laboratory equipment, and industrial machinery components that require certified disposal methods to ensure compliance with environmental regulations.
