Recycling old tech has never been simpler

No booking. No forms. No cost. Just drop it off and walk out.

1

Wipe your device

Before dropping off, delete your personal data. All storage media is professionally wiped or physically destroyed — wiping first gives you extra peace of mind.

2

Find your nearest drop-off

Use our location finder to find your closest participating Noel Leeming or Warehouse store. 41+ sites nationwide and growing.

3

Drop it off and you're done

Hand it to staff or place it in the TechCollect collection point. Your device will be assessed, refurbished if it has a second life, or responsibly recycled if end-of-life. Done.
