Televisions banned from landfill
Apr 20, 2010
From April 27, televisions will be banned from going into landfill and instead will have to be recycled for a fee at the Mitchell and Mugga Lane Resource Management Centres.The ACT is the first Australian jurisdiction to make this move, which Chief Minister Jon Stanhope said would divert 200 tonnes of televisions from entering landfill annually.
The fee for recycling a television at the resource management centres will range from $15 to $40, depending on the size of the television.
Once the National e-waste Scheme is introduced in the ACT next year, Mr Stanhope said e-waste recycling would be free.
