Abilities Group is an industry leader in the responsible disposal and recycling of electronic and electrical equipment, or e-waste. If it has a plug or a battery, we’ll recycle it!
We’re proud to be certified to AS/NZS 5377, the Australian and New Zealand Standard for the responsible collection, storage, transport and treatment of e-waste. Our certification follows a completely independent audit of our systems and practices by Global Compliance Certification (GCC), an accredited international certification body. It means we maximise re-use and material recovery, protect worker health and minimise harm to the environment.
For businesses, choosing a certified recycler takes the guesswork out of e-waste. You can be confident your old equipment is handled safely, responsibly and in line with best practice, from collection through to final processing. Certification also supports your own environmental commitments and sustainability reporting, and helps you meet procurement requirements for responsible waste management. It’s peace of mind for you, and an easy way to show your customers and staff that you’re doing the right thing.
We accept a wide range of items, including laptops, desktop computers, servers and peripherals, CRT and flat-screen TVs, printers, audio and video equipment, radios and stereos, mobile and landline phones, whiteware, home appliances, cables and wires, and even the packaging and accessories that came with them.
Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond collection. We hold a Basel Permit to export printed circuit boards to Japan for the extraction of precious metals, reducing the need to mine these valuable resources from the ground.
Each year we divert more than 1,248,000 kg of material from landfill through our responsible, secure and robust recycling practices. And every item you recycle with us supports meaningful, paid work for more than 100 people with intellectual disabilities.
