BYTEBACK - your FREE computer recycling solution
 Byteback is a free computer take-back program to help people dispose of unwanted computer equipment responsibly.
Byteback is currently operating in Victoria only. Planet Ark's Recycling Near You website lists similar programs in other states.
Individuals and small businesses can deposit unwanted computer equipment at Byteback locations. There is a limit of 10 items per visit.
Byteback is an Australian first as government and industry are sharing responsibility for disposing of computer waste safely. Sustainability Victoria is running Byteback in partnership with the Australian Information Industry Association (AIIA) and founding partners Apple, Canon, Dell, Epson, Fujitsu, Fuji-Xerox, HP, IBM, Lenovo, and Lexmark.
Building on an initial trial by Sustainability Victoria and Hewlett Packard in Camberwell, Byteback will run in Victoria until the end of 2008 and it is hoped it will form the basis of a national framework for the responsible disposal of computer waste.
If you cannot get to one of our site locations, or have a larger stockpile of equipment that you no longer want, please consider other options to dispose of those products in a responsible way. Sustainability Victoria has a search engine on their website to find recycling services ('Find a Service'). Planet Ark have also developed a useful site with recycling information, www.recyclingnearyou.com.au
