 Electronic waste (e-waste) includes electronic items such as computers, monitors, printers, televisions, DVD/Video players, scanners, printers, cameras and videa consoles.

Federal legislation introduced in November 2011 requires the retailers and manufacturers of electronic items to be responsible for it when a customer wishes to dispose of it.   This stewardship is being negotatiated between all players.

Until this agreement is finalised, e-waste can not be recycled in Toowoomba (due to exceedingly high costs) and can not be "stockpiled" in anticipation of a future recycling option.
