Garbage Guru City of Sydney's ultimate guide to recycling and disposing of stuff.

  • Check with the retailer or manufacturer

    Check with the retailer or manufacturer if they can recycle it. Brands such as Whirlpool, Bosch, Electrolux and Miele design for reuse and recycling, and many retail outlets now take your old appliance when you buy a new one. Your old appliance will then be on-sold to a second-hand dealer or scrap-metal recycler.
