The National Television and Computer Recycling Scheme (NTCRS) requires that all ‘liable parties’ – i.e. organisations who manufacture or import more than 5,000 televisions, computers or printers – or 15,000 computer parts or peripherals into Australia – must join and fund an approved collection and recycling program, such as TechCollect.
Because programs such as TechCollect are fully funded by these liable parties, they offer a completely free service to households and small businesses.
