The Cost of Getting IT Disposal Wrong
Disposing of ICT assets and corporate e-waste is no longer a back-office task — it’s a compliance, security, and ESG reporting issue. Choosing the wrong pathway exposes your organisation to:
- Data security risks → unmanaged assets leave sensitive information vulnerable
- Regulatory exposure → no audit trail means you can’t prove compliance
- Reputational damage → stakeholders expect responsible, sustainable IT disposal
For enterprise and government buyers, “free” or ad-hoc disposal isn’t an option — the cost of non-compliance is far greater.
Why Choose Recover-E
Recover-E is Australia’s trusted solution for secure IT asset disposal, enterprise e-waste recycling, and compliant ICT recovery. We provide:
Why Free Drop-Off or Donations Aren’t Enough
Free or low-cost options like council e-waste days, charity donations, or “free” collectors sound convenient — but they’re designed for households, not organisations with audit requirements.
These pathways typically don’t provide:
- Certified data wiping
- Chain-of-custody documentation
- Compliance or ESG reporting
- Evidence for ASRS, B Corp, or social procurement
Recover-E isn’t “free” — it’s an enterprise-grade IT asset disposal and e-waste service that protects your organisation and delivers measurable ESG outcomes.

The Environmental Cost of E-Waste Disposal
Irresponsible e-waste disposal creates more than a storage problem — it contributes to a global environmental crisis.
- Laptops, printers and monitors contain toxic materials like lead and mercury
- 85% of a smartphone’s carbon footprint is created before first use
- E-waste is the fastest-growing waste stream globally, yet only ~22% is recycled through certified channels
Recover-E helps organisations reduce environmental impact and comply with ESG requirements by supporting a circular ICT and e-waste lifecycle instead of a linear “buy, use, dump” model.
Turning Circular Recover-E Into Human Connection
Recover-E transforms end-of-life ICT into more than carbon savings. Through our Circular Recover-E model, the resale and recycling value generated is redirected into Catalysing Connections — our flagship program providing mobile connectivity, digital access, and community support where it’s needed most.
This means your end-of-life assets and retired e-waste directly fund community connection and digital access.
