The WA Government has allocated $5.4 million to increase e-waste storage, collection, recycling and processing throughout WA as part of the second round of its E-waste Infrastructure Grants Program.

That program - which supports the Government's commitment to reduce the number of electronics and electrical items going to landfill - has previously provided $4.5 million in grants to WA local governments, small businesses and not-for-profits, bringing the Government's total investment in e-waste recycling to nearly $10 million.

E-waste includes items with a plug, battery or cord, including computers and mobile phones, as well as home appliances, such as dishwashers, washing machines and dryers.

Grants are awarded to infrastructure projects that support the increasing recycling capability and capacity throughout the State, including regional WA, where funds will help with the construction of facilities in the Shire of Donnybrook Balingup and the Shire of Northam.
