    Ewaste in Australia???????????

    I have asked this before but am still at a loss.
    Where can I sell ewaste in Australia?????
    When I search I find a few old Aussie members that say they sell ewaste,messaged them all with no response.
    I get offered ewaste all the time and what I do take goes to shred.
    Google is no help,USA has such a big market for it there must be a buyer here somewhere?????
    Thanks any help would be great.

    I don't have the answer or even a direction to look other than what you have done.

    If I were you and had the storage space I would be breaking down all the ewaste I could get and holding onto the good stuff. Sooner or later you will find an outlet for the material. Like most things the more you have the more important you are. A few hundred pounds is nice but tons or tonnes, if you prefer, demands more attention. So long as you are able to get the material for free or extremely cheap then it may work out for you.

    I hope you can get a buyer soon, Mike.

    I've mentioned this on other OZ members threads, but here's another ; ) Look into shipping for a container sized load. It might take a while, but could also pay off well. I once knew of a woman who shipped a number of things from there to western Europe, purchasing only a "partial" container passage, for only her personal things, so it can't be that "un-do-able"

    Has anyone found any leads since the last comment here over a year ago? I'm interested in finding out more about this too.

    So..did a google search. You fellas down there in the Down Under really need to save your funds an become buyers. Several companies I found will gladly take it if YOU pay them.

    That sucks.

    Good luck to ya.
