Starting 1 July 2019, all electronic waste (e-waste) will be banned from any bin or landfill site.
To ensure Mansfield Shire is fully prepared for the ban, we have completed works to build our e-waste collection facilities at the following drop-off points.
All e-waste: Mansfield Resource Recovery Centre - 163 Monkey Gully Road, Mansfield
