GREAT NEWS!........NAHHH

WE KEEP UPDATING OUR APPLIANCES BUT WHAT HAPPENS TO THE STUFF WE PUT IN THE BIN???

Every day I see old TUBE TV's and other electronic items on the side of the road and that's just in my own neighbourhood!

It's up to us the consumers to put on the pressure . Manufactures and consumers alike  need to be conscious of the fact that  we are just throwing old technology with reusable and toxic parts into a hole in the ground. Yes that's right all that usefull and toxic material is being buried. TV's for example are loaded with copper, lead , mercury ,plastic and precious metals. So think twice about that hard garbage collection that happens twice a year,it all goes into a hole in the ground and it doesn't go away. 

Out of the Trilloins of dollars that are made by electronics manufactures you could say that almost none of that money made goes into taking back the old stuff and reusing the recycleable parts.

I've done a little investigating and there are 2 places that I know in SYDNEY that do recycle your old TV gear  and electronics like computers and mobile phones.

I have also contacted my local council  RANDWICK and apparently there is a once a year pickup that is not a part of the hard rubbish clean up. There are plans  to set up a place so you can take your old electronics for recycling but that may never happen. We the ratepayers and enviromentally conscious must put pressure on councils and local Government to make it possble.   

 

  1. Southern cross metals in Sefton. http://www.yellowpages.com.au/bi/southern-cross-metals-pty-ltd-sefton-nsw-5622598.html Will take your old or broken electronic equipment for free.

  2. SIMS RECYCLING http://www.apac.simsrecycling.com/ charge a fee to take your unwanted electronics.

 Unfortunately you will also need to deliver any electronics you would like to see recycled out to these companies yourselves. 

 

Stay tuned

A: This depends on what you're hooking up. Check out our page on Cables and Connections

Q: How far should I sit from my large screen Plasma TV or LCD TV and How high should it go?
A: The distance to sit from your large screen Plasma TV or LCD TV is based on the size of the flat panel screen. The general rule is at you should sit at least 3 times the diagonal width of your TV away from the TV and the height depends on distance away also but you should always be mindful of the angle of your neck. If you place the TV too high you could end up with injury. Generally your eyes should rest comfortably on the  middle of the screen.

A:  Call us at 0425 348 202 to speak to Carlos.


Q: Why don't you put your prices on your web site or have a shopping cart?
A: Ordering installation service is not like ordering a TV online. We need to understand your needs to make sure you're get the service that is perfect for your needs. Any installation company that just shoves you through a shopping cart without talking to you doesn't care about your needs and that just isn't the MAXTV way. Our customer always come first!
