Illustrative image

Separate routine coworking waste from periodic studio equipment and acoustic-fit-out clear-outs. Ask a receiver about microphones, interfaces, cables and foam by item instead of assuming one free scheme covers the whole studio.

Information to gather

  • Inventory equipment for repair, reuse or an accepted e-waste collection.
  • Ask about embedded batteries before arranging storage or transport.
  • Confirm acceptance for acoustic foam and composite panels before booking bulky waste.

What to check before deciding

The National Television and Computer Recycling Scheme is not a blanket promise of free recycling for all audio gear. Describe the actual items and quantities when requesting quotes and retain collection records.

Victorian landfills cannot receive e-waste; batteries need an appropriate dedicated collection route. See EPA Victoria - Electronic waste.

Send your site details and collection requirements to discuss the available options and written terms.
