How it works
Book
Pick a date in the ReSmart app or on the web. Pay per pickup, or use your council's subsidised pickups where they apply.
Bag it
Anything with a plug or a battery that fits in a shopping bag: phones, laptops, chargers and cables, kettles, toasters, hairdryers, headphones, games consoles. Bigger items, like a microwave, monitor or TV, go in the same pickup; large TVs, fridges and washing machines too, priced by volume.
Leave it out
Put your items at your door on pickup day. Our driver collects them with anything else you’re recycling, and you can see where it all ends up.
What happens to your e-waste
E-waste is the fastest growing waste stream in the world. Many valuable materials inside it, like copper, gold, silver, platinum and zinc, can be used again.
We work alongside our approved recycling partners to recover those materials from the e-waste we pick up from residents and businesses, rather than letting it go to landfill.

What else can go in the same pickup on the Gold Coast?
We collect everything, as long as it’s not wet, organic or dangerous. Soft plastics, textiles, e-waste, cardboard, polystyrene, batteries, light bulbs and the other misfit items all go in one booking, from one doorstep, wherever we pick up in Australia. See the full list of what we pick up.

Can businesses on the Gold Coast get e-waste picked up?
