Recycling computers
and printers

Congratulations on your 20th year of successfully producing a truly world class electronics magazine. I have every copy except for No.1. I do wish you and your staff continued success for many years yet to come.

The purpose of this letter is to draw attention to the situation regarding E-Waste and that our organisation is actually doing something about the problem. While councils and governments are scratching around like a bunch of sun-struck chooks, trying to work out what to do with unwanted computers, printers, monitors, plus a host of other items that make up E-Waste, Reverse Garbage (RG) at Marrickville in Sydney is turning the problem into the solution.

RG collects and refurbishes unwanted PCs, which we then sell cheaply to the public. A lot of people may not want (or need) a brand new computer or can afford a newie. That is where RG excels. Reverse Garbage can sell a complete package for under $100 or a little more if we have to build it to a customer’s specs (some people prefer to build up their own computers or wish to upgrade cheaply).
