Every Month 60,000 Tonnes of Electronics are Thrown into Landfill in Australia
We're working to change that - starting right here in the Sydney metro area.
Whirl provides free pickup of electronics from homes, businesses, schools...everyone.
​
Since 2019, Lisa and Adrian Saunders have been trusted by over 39,000 customers for secure electronics reuse and recycling.
We prioritise reuse - the most environmentally friendly and least impactful form of recycling.
​This gives your unwanted tech a second life by repairing or refurbishing wherever possible.
When reuse isn’t possible, we provide secure electronics recycling. Devices are broken down into raw materials and responsibly processed - keeping harmful waste out of landfill.
We destroy all data using professional data destruction methods, including tools like Active@ KillDisk to ensure complete and permanent erasure.​
​Whether you’re cleaning out your home office or managing IT disposal for a company or school, we make it simple, secure and sustainable.​

How We Protect Your Data
We fully and irretrievably destroy all data on all your devices.
​
If it can be reused, it is either reset to factory settings, or the hard drive is fully erased using Active@KillDisk.
If we can't reuse it, your device is shredded then smelted. No data survives.
​
If you remove your device from your cloud account, then reset it to factory settings, this also protects your data.
​
Can't do this? That's not a problem. The device can be used for parts or fully recycled.

How We Can Afford to be Free
We're often asked: "How can you afford to run a business without charging?"
We focus on technology, audio equipment, computer games tech and cameras. These are all items that can be reused or have enough value as scrap to cover the costs of transport and processing. This enables us to remain a free service and continue to operate.
​
​Items such as vacuums, blenders, home appliances, coffee machines, lamps, etc are metal or plastics. They fall under the category of metal scrap and require different machines to process than the ones our recycling partners use.
Also, they do not have enough value to cover the costs of transport. This is why metal scrappers often charge fees.
​
See our FAQ page for a more detailed explanation.

Kofi donations also go a long way to helping us cover costs to maintain a free service. ​​​​
