To ensure that Notebooks and other equipment are disposed of in accordance with best environmental practice and government guidelines, Toshiba partners with MRI Australia, a professional recycling company.
MRI Australia offers an innovative refurbishment, remarketing and recycling program. Equipment that cannot be re-used is dismantled for recycling at Environmental Protection Authority licensed and ISO certified facilities. These processes currently result in nearly 100 per cent of Toshiba Notebooks (by weight) being diverted from landfill. For a complete overview of what will happen to your old Notebook, click here.

We can help old Notebooks go to a better place
At Toshiba, we are
focused on building Notebooks in an environmentally
sustainable way. We are also concerned about what
happens to our Notebooks when they reach the end
of their useful lives. There are two reasons for
this.
There is growing concern about the environmental impact of dumping large quantities of electronic products into landfill.
It is a terrible waste, as most of the materials in a Notebook and its accessories can be re-used or recycled.
That is why we are making it as easy and inexpensive as possible to recycle old Toshiba Notebooks. There are two ways you can do this:
Want to drop off your old equipment (no charge)*?
You can bring unwanted Toshiba Notebooks (including batteries) to a Toshiba MobileCare or ProCare Service Centre in Australia or New Zealand. Just fill in an Equipment Disposal Agreement and then drop off your equipment in the recycling bin in the lobby and we will take care of it at no charge.
For your nearest drop-off point, visit www.isd.toshiba.com.au/servicecentres or
call 13 30 70. If you are in an area that does not have a collection point, you can even
post your equipment to us (along with a completed Equipment Disposal Agreement)
and we will take care of it. Please note: a handling fee will apply if you drop off or post
a non-Toshiba Notebook. This covers the cost of shipping and recycling.
Want us to pick up your old equipment*? If you prefer, we can arrange a courier
to collect your equipment. To cover pickup, shipping and
recycling, we will need to charge a flat fee of $10 plus
$13 per item in metropolitan areas or $16 if you are more
than 40 km away from your capital city (credit card payments
only). To

* As you would expect, some terms and conditions apply. It is important that you understand and accept the terms and conditions (or complete the Equipment Disposal Agreement) before you participate in the Toshiba e-CYCLE program.
