E-waste disposal in Brisbane, collected from inside the house.
Old televisions, desktop towers, monitors, printers and small appliances are picked up where they sit and taken to an e-waste recycler where one is available. No dragging a 40kg screen to the kerb and hoping.
- Televisions, computers, monitors, printers and small appliances
- Carried out by the hauler, including down internal stairs
- One fixed price based on the space the load takes up
Why e waste disposal in Brisbane gets left in the spare room
Electronics do not belong in a wheelie bin, so they end up stacked in a cupboard, a garage or under a desk: the plasma that was replaced in 2016, two dead laptops, a printer nobody could get talking to the wifi. The reason they stay there is rarely confusion about recycling. It is that a rear-projection or large CRT television is a genuine two-person lift, and most households do not have a vehicle it fits in.
PicUp handles the part that is actually hard. A hauler comes to the address, lifts the item out of the room it is in, loads it, and drives it to an e-waste recycler where one is available. Single items up to 150kg and three metres long are inside the fleet envelope, and the vehicle sent matches the load: a ute for one screen, a cargo van or four tonne pantech with a tail-lift for a home office being emptied.
Electronics collected on an e-waste booking
- Televisions, from flat panels to older CRT and rear-projection sets
- Desktop towers, all-in-ones, laptops and monitors
- Printers, scanners, modems and the box of cables that came with them
- Small appliances such as microwaves, kettles, toasters and vacuums
- Desks, chairs and cabinets cleared out with the equipment on them
When people book an e-waste pickup
A new television arrivesThe delivery leaves the old set on the floor. One pickup takes it away with the packaging and the wall bracket.
Working from home gets tidied upTwo generations of computers, a dead monitor and a printer, all cleared in one trip so the room can be used again.
Moving out or ending a leaseElectronics that cannot legally go in the bin and cannot be left in the unit, cleared before the exit inspection.
Clearing a family homeDecades of appliances and equipment coming out room by room, sorted into donate, recycle and dispose as the load is built.
Electronics are usually only part of the pile. If furniture and general household material are going as well, the same booking can cover it: see junk removal in Brisbane.
How PicUp treats electronics
Recycler before landfill
Televisions, computers, monitors, printers and small appliances go to an e-waste recycler where one is available for that item.
Removal, not repair
PicUp collects and transports the gear. It does not repair, resell or wipe data, so anything personal comes off the device before pickup.
Heavy items handled
Haulers lift the awkward gear themselves, up to 150kg per item and three metres long, including sets that take two people to shift.
What an e-waste pickup in Brisbane includes
E-waste removal is quoted the same way as the rest of PicUp junk removal: on the space the load takes up in the vehicle, plus the labour to get it out. One television from a lounge room and a garage of old equipment are priced on what they actually are.
Every booking includes:
- Hauler labour to lift and carry the gear out of the room
- A ute, cargo van or tail-lift pantech matched to the load
- Transport to an e-waste recycler where one is available
- Furniture and general household items going in the same load
- Tracking on the day and a fixed price before you confirm
Not accepted: asbestos, paint and chemicals, gas bottles, tyres, car batteries and liquid waste stay behind. Data security is also on you: sign out of accounts and wipe drives before the hauler arrives, because PicUp transports devices and does not erase them.

E-waste disposal questions, answered
What counts as e-waste on a PicUp booking?
Televisions, computers, laptops, monitors, printers and small appliances such as microwaves, kettles and vacuums. Cables, keyboards and mice can go in the same load. Larger whitegoods like fridges and washing machines are collected too, they are just handled as bulky household items rather than e-waste.
Where does the e-waste actually end up?
Electronics are taken to an e-waste recycler where one is available for that item, so screens and computers are not sent straight to landfill. PicUp is the collection and transport part of the chain: it moves the gear, it does not process or dismantle it.
Will my data be wiped before the computer is recycled?
No. PicUp does not wipe drives or erase devices, so remove your own data first. Sign out of accounts, back up anything you want to keep, then wipe or physically remove the hard drive before the pickup. Treat the device as gone once it is on the truck.
Can a hauler get an old television down from upstairs?
Yes. Carrying items out is part of the job, and single items up to 150kg and three metres long are within the fleet limits, which covers even heavy older sets. Flag stairs, a lift or a narrow hallway when booking so the right vehicle and team size are assigned.
Can electronics go in the same pickup as furniture and rubbish?
Yes, and most bookings do exactly that. A monitor, a couch and three boxes of clutter travel together, with each part dropped where it belongs: charity for usable goods, an e-waste recycler for electronics, a transfer station for the rest. Excluded items are asbestos, paint and chemicals, gas bottles, tyres, car batteries and liquid waste.
