Australians are among the highest users of technology, and e-waste is one of the fastest-growing types of waste.
Did you know that you can recycle your unwanted test and measurement meters anytime at Instrument Choice for free? As long as they are within the field of products we sell, we'll recycle them for you!
Why Recycle your tech stuff?
When not disposed of correctly, many electronic devices such as test and measurement meters can release toxic materials and substances. Some of the elements found within these instruments include mercury, lead, cadmium, beryllium, polyvinyl chloride, and chromium. When discarded without regard or simply put into landfills, these substances can leach into the soil, polluting soil, groundwater, and air.
Moreover, a majority of electronic equipment contains recyclable materials, such as finite precious metals. Instrument Choice strongly urges you to get into the habit of recycling old or disused electronic equipment. You will ensure the recovery of usable parts and precious materials while reducing landfill - win-win!
Our e-waste partners recycle as much as possible. They meticulously sort and dismantle old equipment into their separate groups before sending away for reuse or further processing.
