General news...

Another busy week for Buyequip. Our Business Development team completed a tender for old IT equipment in a new computer refresh for a Queensland government department, we have been in negotiations with national transport company TOLL in the disposal of eWaste and executives from CBO - an ICT company - took a tour of our Red Hill facility.

In other news, Buyequip is hosting a Business eWaste Recyclathon in the Milton area on April 29, 2010. The event will be sponsored by the Brisbane City Council, Quest Newspapers and Westpac. As part of the event, businesses are given the opportunity to drop off their eWaste at no charge. Buyequip will handle the logistics and recycling for the event. Businesses are invited to participate - contact Buyequip for more information.

Yet another week passes and Buyequip still hear stories of people in the South-east Queensland region incorrectly disposing of CRT monitors. There are inherent costs involved with the environmental disposal of the Cathode Ray Tubes (CRT) tubes contained in CRT monitors and televisions. There is only one accredited CRT recycler in Australia which is located in Adelaide. Dismantling of CRTs is labour intensive and time consuming, and with the cost of freight and disposal to Adelaide, the handling of this eWaste is an expensive business. For these reasons, it is necessary that Buyequip charge for the recycling of large CRTs and televisions. In many cases, free eWaste services will most likely result in the items being landfilled or sent via illegitimate channels to the developing world. Buyequip only deals with accredited recyclers that can provide birth to grave tracking on IT equipment in the recycling process.
