E-waste
E-waste refers to any item with a plug, battery or cords that are no
longer working or wanted. It cannot be placed in your kerbside bins
and must be disposed of separately.
There’s a better place for e-waste than your rubbish bin. Precious metals can be recovered
and reused, and dangerous chemicals can be captured to avoid harm to our environment
The way e-waste is recycled
can vary between recyclers, but
generally it follows this pattern:
Disassembly Shredding Sorting Repurposed

E-waste will be collected via hard waste collections, of which each resident has two
of every year. Otherwise you can drop your items off at the transfer stations listed on
the back of this page. Please remove all batteries and dispose of them at either the listed
transfer stations, either of Council’s Customer Service Centres or Aldi.
Items include:

TV’s and DVD Cameras Alarm clocks Fax machines White goods such as fridges,
players and radios and phones freezers and washing
machines and dryers

Composting in Casey
Did you know that nearly half of your rubbish is made up of food waste?
By composting our food scraps we can reduce waste to landfill.
Council offers rebates on the purchase of compost bins, worm
farms and bio-fermenters. The rebate is open to residential
properties, with one rebate available to each household.
Residents rebates are as follows:
»» Compost bin
$30 rebate
»» Bio-fermenter
$40 rebate
»» Worm Farm
$50 rebate

Composting your food scraps is beneficial

to your garden as it produces a free natural
fertiliser.

Applicants can apply online by completing a

form, uploading a photo of the receipt and proof
of residence in Casey to the composting page on
Council’s website. Terms and conditions apply.

For dates on composting information sessions and other great green events, check out
the Green Events Calendar on the City of Casey website.
