E-Waste Disposal Perth
ITC Asset Management provides business e-waste disposal, collection and recycling across the Perth metropolitan area. Since 1 July 2024, Western Australia has restricted regulated e-waste from landfill under the Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery (e-waste) Regulations 2024. ITC collects under documented chain of custody, sanitises data-bearing devices to the NIST 800-88 standard, and issues a Certificate of Data Destruction and a Certificate of Recycling on every job.

ITC does not operate a public drop-off depot in Perth. Collections are scheduled jobs run by a dedicated ITC team, with every asset logged at the point of pickup and transported under documented chain of custody.
Western Australian obligations
On 1 July 2024 the Western Australian Government commenced its e-waste to landfill restrictions under the Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery (e-waste) Regulations 2024. Regulated e-waste is now directed away from landfill and into recovery. The duty does not sit with the general public. It sits with landfill operators, e-waste service providers, premises licensed under Part V of the Environmental Protection Act 1986, and organisations that meet the definition of a significant entity.
For a Perth business that means the question is no longer whether the old server rack in the comms room can go in the skip. It is whether your organisation is captured, what records you need to hold, and who you can hand the material to. That is the part almost nobody publishes, so it is worth setting out plainly.
| Category | Typical business examples |
|---|---|
| Screens, IT and telecommunications equipment | Monitors, laptops, desktops, servers, switches, handsets, tablets |
| Lighting and lamps | Fluorescent tubes, LED fittings, globes |
| Large appliances | Dishwashers, washing machines, ovens, rangehoods, vending machines |
| Batteries | All batteries except those embedded in devices not designed for user removal |
| Temperature exchange equipment | Air conditioners, fridges, freezers |
| Large medical devices | Units exceeding 50 cm x 50 cm x 50 cm |
Source: Western Australian Government, e-waste to landfill information, wa.gov.au. Full scope is set out in Schedule 1 of the Regulations.
The first phase deliberately excludes streams that do not yet have an established recovery pathway in WA. At the time of writing that includes solar panels, small appliances such as toasters, children's toys, electric toothbrushes and vapes. The State has signalled that later phases may widen the scope.
E-waste service providers report annually to the State, with the first return due by 1 October 2025. If your organisation is captured, the practical consequence is that you need a provider who can give you a documented, auditable record of what left your site and where it went, not a receipt from a skip bin.
ITC is a Sydney based operator serving Perth clients through scheduled interstate collections. This page explains the WA rules because they shape what a compliant Perth job looks like. It is general information, not legal advice. Confirm your own obligations with the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation.
Are you captured
A significant entity is a business or public entity that meets either of two tests. Meeting one is enough. Most Perth organisations that run a corporate fleet, a campus, a hospital, a mine site office or a multi-branch retail network will pass at least one of them without realising it.
Thresholds as published by the Western Australian Government, e-waste to landfill frequently asked questions, wa.gov.au. Households are not captured as significant entities.
You are not a significant entity, but your general environmental duties under the Environmental Protection Act 1986 still apply, and the data on your retired hard drives is still your problem. A documented disposal is cheap insurance.
You are captured. You need a provider who can evidence where regulated e-waste went, in a form you can put in front of an auditor or a regulator without a follow up phone call.
Most organisations underestimate it. A single office refresh of 150 workstations with monitors sits close to two tonnes before you count UPS units, cabling, printers and lighting.
Services in Perth
ITC runs the full IT asset disposal chain rather than a single step of it. That matters in Perth because the common failure is a split job, where one contractor takes the hardware and nobody is accountable for the data that was on it.
Scheduled bulk pickups from offices, data rooms, warehouses, campuses and multi-site rollouts. Assets are counted and logged at the point of collection, not at the far end.
Desktops, laptops, thin clients, monitors and docking stations removed as a controlled batch, with serial level recording where you need asset register reconciliation.
Material processed in line with AS/NZS 5377, with metals, plastics and glass separated for recovery rather than shredded to a single mixed fraction.
Data-bearing devices sanitised to the NIST 800-88 standard, with hard drive shredding and degaussing available where a policy requires physical destruction. See secure data destruction.
Rack level strip out, cable management, UPS and battery handling, and staged removal that works around a live cutover. See data centre decommissioning.
Where equipment still holds market value, ITC quotes a buyback so the disposal returns money instead of costing it. See IT asset buyback.
The process
Perth jobs are booked as scheduled collections. A dedicated ITC team travels for the pickup, so the sequence is planned around your access windows, loading dock and security requirements rather than a truck route.
Book a Perth job
Send through a rough device count and we will come back with a scope, a collection window and, where the equipment still holds value, a buyback figure that offsets the job.
Household drop-off vs business disposal
Generally no, and this is the single most common misunderstanding we hear from Perth clients. WA councils and regional councils run genuinely good household e-waste services, and they are free. They are also scoped for households. Several Perth facilities state outright that commercial loads are not accepted, and others cap drop-offs at a handful of items per vehicle per day.
| Requirement | Council household drop-off | Business ITAD collection |
|---|---|---|
| Accepts commercial volumes | Usually not, item caps per load are common | Yes, scoped per job |
| Bulk pickup from your site | No, you transport it | Yes, scheduled collection |
| Documented chain of custody | No | Yes, logged at pickup |
| Certificate of Data Destruction | No | Yes, issued per job |
| Certificate of Recycling for audit | No | Yes, issued per job |
| Serial level asset reporting | No | Yes, on request |
| Value returned for reusable assets | No | Yes, via buyback |
| Best suited to | Households, small item counts | Office refresh, decommission, multi-site rollout |
Household services remain the right answer for a single old laptop at home. The distinction matters once a job carries data risk, volume, or a reporting obligation.
The numbers behind the rules
Australia generated 588,000 tonnes of e-waste in 2023, up 38 per cent in a decade, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics Waste Account Australia 2024. On current trajectory the figure reaches 657,000 tonnes by 2030. That growth curve is why states have moved from encouragement to regulation.
The global picture from the UNITAR Global E-Waste Monitor 2024 tells the same story from the other end. The world produced 62 million tonnes of e-waste in 2022 and is tracking toward 82 million tonnes by 2030, while recycling capacity grows roughly five times slower than generation. Of the $91 billion in metals sitting in that stream, only $28 billion is currently recovered.
Evidence, not adjectives
ITC Solutions Australia Pty Ltd holds four ISO certifications through QAS International, covering information security, environment, quality and workplace safety. Read together they mean the data handling, the environmental processing, the job documentation and the on-site safety are each audited against a published standard rather than described in a brochure.
Information Security Management
Cert AUP1338IT
Environmental Management
Cert AUP1338EN
Quality Management Systems
Cert AUP1338CA
Occupational Health and Safety
Cert AUP1338HS
Corporate, education, government, healthcare, financial services and enterprise IT. These are the environments where a disposal has to survive an audit, and where a missing certificate becomes a finding rather than an inconvenience.
Value recovery
Often, yes. Three to four year old business laptops, recent workstations, monitors, switches and server hardware frequently retain resale value that exceeds the cost of removing them. Where that is the case ITC quotes an IT asset buyback against the fleet, and the disposal becomes a credit line rather than a cost line. Where it is not the case, the equipment goes to recycling and you are told that up front.
Most of a device's lifetime carbon is spent before it is switched on for the first time. Keeping a working machine in service, or returning it to service with another owner, avoids that embodied production carbon entirely. Recycling recovers materials; reuse avoids the manufacture.
| Device | Embodied production CO2e |
|---|---|
| Laptop | approximately 331 kg |
| Desktop | 396 kg to 719 kg |
| Monitor | approximately 150 kg |
| Server | approximately 600 kg |
| Networking equipment | approximately 100 kg |
| Smartphone | 50 kg to 55 kg |
Figures are embodied manufacturing carbon from published lifecycle assessment literature, including a 230 laptop study by Circular Computing and ADEME server data. They describe production carbon avoided through reuse, not operational emissions.
A 200 laptop refresh represents roughly 66 tonnes of embodied production carbon. For scale, 21 kg of CO2e is about what one tree sequesters in a year, and 0.25 kg is roughly a kilometre driven in an average car.
Where reuse is not viable, material is processed in line with AS/NZS 5377 so metals, plastics and glass are recovered rather than landfilled. Both outcomes are documented on your Certificate of Recycling.
Coverage
ITC schedules collections across the Perth metropolitan area and the surrounding commercial and industrial corridors. Jobs are booked in advance because a dedicated team travels for the pickup, which also means the collection window is set around your operational requirements rather than a fixed route.
Perth sits within ITC's national programme alongside Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and regional sites. If you are consolidating disposal across several states under one contract and one reporting format, that is handled through national IT asset disposal. Businesses in Victoria can also see the Melbourne e-waste and ITAD page.
Perth questions answered
Yes. ITC provides scheduled business e-waste collection across the Perth metropolitan area. Collections are booked jobs rather than a drop-off service, and a dedicated ITC team travels for the pickup. Assets are counted and logged on site at the point of collection, then transported under documented chain of custody for processing.
No. ITC does not operate a public drop-off point in Perth. The business is based at Unit 25, 16 Loyalty Road, North Rocks NSW 2151, and serves Perth through scheduled interstate collections under the national IT asset disposal programme. For a single household item, a local council recycling facility is the appropriate option.
Western Australia commenced its e-waste to landfill restrictions on 1 July 2024 under the Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery (e-waste) Regulations 2024. Obligations fall on landfill operators, e-waste service providers, premises licensed under Part V of the Environmental Protection Act 1986, and significant entities. A significant entity is a business or public entity with 200 or more full time equivalent employees working predominantly in WA, or one generating more than 5 tonnes of regulated e-waste a year. Meeting either test is enough. Confirm your own position with the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation.
The first phase covers screens, IT and telecommunications equipment, lighting and lamps, large appliances, all batteries except those embedded in devices not designed for user removal, temperature exchange equipment such as air conditioners and freezers, and large medical devices exceeding 50 cm by 50 cm by 50 cm. Solar panels, small appliances such as toasters, toys, electric toothbrushes and vapes sit outside the first phase. The full scope is in Schedule 1 of the Regulations.
Data-bearing devices are sanitised to the NIST 800-88 standard. Where your policy or a client contract requires physical destruction, hard drive shredding and degaussing are available instead. Every job closes with a Certificate of Data Destruction covering the data-bearing devices and a Certificate of Recycling covering the material stream.
It depends on the mix. Where retired equipment still holds resale value, ITC quotes a buyback that can offset or exceed the cost of the collection, so the job returns money. Where the fleet is genuinely end of life, there is a service cost for the collection, secure data destruction, processing and certification. You are given the position before the job is booked rather than after.
Usually not. WA council and regional council facilities run household e-waste services, and several state directly that commercial loads are not accepted or cap drop-offs at a small number of items per load per day. They also do not issue a Certificate of Data Destruction, a Certificate of Recycling, or a chain of custody record, which are the documents a business needs when the disposal has to be evidenced.
ITC Solutions Australia Pty Ltd holds four ISO certifications through QAS International: ISO/IEC 27001:2022 for information security (AUP1338IT), ISO 14001:2015 for environmental management (AUP1338EN), ISO 9001:2015 for quality (AUP1338CA) and ISO 45001:2018 for occupational health and safety (AUP1338HS). E-waste is processed in line with AS/NZS 5377.
Because a dedicated team travels for the pickup, Perth collections are scheduled rather than same day. Give as much notice as you can, particularly for decommissioning work with a hard cutover date, and the job is planned around your access window, dock or lift restrictions and any site induction requirements.
Yes. Perth sits inside ITC's national programme alongside Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and regional locations, under one contract and one reporting format so certification and asset records stay consistent across sites. Details are on the national IT asset disposal page.
