You can deliver your electronic products to the Tamworth Regional Council Forest Road Waste Management Facility or call us and for a small fee we will collect it from your home.
e-link is also a self-funded social enterprise. What this means is that we're a business that creates a bridge to mainstream work for individuals experiencing long term unemployment and other significant disadvantage.
Our participants commence with e-link and gain experience in a real work setting, receive high quality accredited training and personal support.
This combines to address the barriers that may have previously kept the participant out of work. At the end of their placement they are then supported to gain work in mainstream employment.

e-link provides a full e-waste collection and recycling service that will handle your e-waste ethically and responsibly.
All items are taken directly to our recycling plant and dismantled. Toxic chemicals and materials are removed and all materials that can be recycled are sorted for re-use. Once sorted all of the recyclable materials are separated into their specific streams, they are then sent to recyclers or manufacturers for reprocessing into new products.
