About Our Workshops

 

Our workshops include Participants, Volunteers, and a Supervisor. Some of our community bring a support person with them and others explain the assistance they need and we create an experience to suit individual needs.

During our workshops, we are diligent about safety and the wearing of suitable safety items such as eye goggles/glasses, gloves and aprons. We safely recycle or dispose of all ewaste that isn’t able to be refurbished.

Our workshops are a place to enjoy trying new things, using our bodies and minds, while socialising with people from all walks of life.

Individual needs are adapted as required, so that everyone can enjoy and contribute in the workspace.

PARTICIPANT PROGRAM

Participants love coming and taking part at eWaste Connection! Support persons are very welcome too. We can also provide support if you come and require additional assistance during your time with us.

Please call and discuss your needs with us so we can ensure your time with us is enjoyable and successful.

VOLUNTEER PROGRAM

Happiness comes first from helping others. Join eWaste Connection as a volunteer and help others who need assistance and enjoy social interaction, to create a cleaner, greener world.

No experience is necessary.  Prepare to enjoy taking things apart!

It’s very satisfying on so many levels.

1. DONATE ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT

It may no longer work or simply be obsolete! Donate your old electrical equipment and do your bit to help the environment. If you’re unsure about whether an item is acceptable to donate, click here. Essentially, anything with a cord, plug or battery works for us. Items can be dropped at our Kenmore or Yeronga locations 24/7.

2. DONATE MONEY

We rely on donations as our programs receive little government assistance. Any funding we secure pays for tools, resources, spaces and supervision to provide purposeful workshops for more people in our communities and to significantly reduce e-waste going into landfill.

3. DONATE TIME - VOLUNTEER

Happiness comes first from helping others. Join eWaste Connection as a volunteer and help others who need assistance and enjoy social interaction, to create a greener world. No experience is necessary.  Prepare to enjoy taking things apart and help your community to recycle!
