At IRIS Recycling, we understand the importance of proper electronic waste disposal and recycling. With technology evolving rapidly, old electronics are being replaced more frequently than ever, leading to a surge in electronic waste (e-waste). Improper disposal of these devices can have severe environmental consequences, posing risks to both human health and the planet. That’s where IRIS Recycling steps in – to provide reliable and eco-friendly solutions for electronics disposal and recycling in Sydney.
Electronic waste refers to discarded electrical or electronic devices like computers, laptops, televisions, appliances, mobile phones and peripherals. With frequent upgrades and short product lifespans, e-waste is one of the fastest-growing waste streams globally. In Australia, over 450,000 tonnes of e-waste is generated annually.
Much of this e-waste contains hazardous materials like lead, cadmium, mercury and flame retardants. Dumping electronics irresponsibly can expose these toxins. This leads to contamination of air, water and soil. Without safe e-waste disposal methods, such pollution can adversely impact ecosystems, wildlife and human health.
Additionally, e-waste also contains significant amounts of precious metals, plastics, and glass that require the mining of new natural resources if they are not recovered. Safe electronics recycling enables the reclamation of these valuable materials.
IRIS Recycling provides specialized old electronics disposal solutions to manage end-of-life electronics sustainably. As a leading electronics recycler, we are fully licensed to collect, transport and recycle electronic waste. We aim to keep toxic e-waste out of landfills through ethical e-waste recycling in Sydney practices.

We provide these services for residential and commercial clients needing to dispose of unwanted electronics cluttering their spaces.

A key focus of our e-waste disposal Sydney services is the safe handling of hazardous electronic components. We systematically dismantle e-waste and extract these dangerous elements first.
Items like cathode ray tube TVs and monitors require responsible recycling to recover lead glass. We remove lead solder and backing in an isolated process. Batteries are also removed and sorted by chemistry to avoid fires. Mercury-containing lamps and switches get separated for specialist mercury recycling. Refrigerants and components containing asbestos are also handled safely.
Once hazardous substances are removed, we further dismantle devices into material streams like plastics, circuit boards, motors and metal frameworks. These are sent for downstream recycling to recover copper, aluminium, steel and various mixed metals.
For many commercial clients, electronic waste disposal also raises potential data security issues. We offer tailored data destruction services alongside responsible electronics recycling.
We use methods like shredding, crushing, magnet degaussing and disk wiping to destroy sensitive information permanently. Our secure process renders data on hard drives, tapes, disks, cartridges, SSDs, mobiles and other media unrecoverable.
We provide documented certificates of data sanitization. Our systems also conform to recognized standards like NAID AAA certification for guaranteed data elimination.
IRIS Recycling aims to educate more Australian households and businesses about e-waste recycling. We encourage community events that facilitate responsible electronics disposal. Companies can also run employee education drives and install collection points internally to support recycling.
Consumers should look for recyclers like us who have extensive knowledge, advanced technologies, and a focus on environmental stewardship. Avoid non-certified operators that dump hazardous e-waste irresponsibly.
Make a positive impact by partnering with us for all your electronics disposal and recycling needs in Sydney. Together, we can build a sustainable future by reducing e-waste pollution, recovering valuable materials, and strengthening the circular economy.
