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

MAXTV Installation Gallery

  

Below are some of  the installation's by MAXTV

Apologies for my poor photography I use my phone to take the picturesWink You will also notice that they are mostly ceiling mounted. Wall mounting is possible  however most offices and comercial establishments have steel stud partition walls. I do have a number of techniques that I employ to wall mount the TV or Display  safley and securely however I will not mount to steel studs unless the wall can handle the weight and articulated brackets are definately out of the question, flat to the wall only.

 

Client name: THE SMART GROUP http://www.smartoption.com.au/

Here is an example where the only option was to do a ceiling mount installation. Originally the client wanted to have the LCD wall mounted. Due to the wall being made out of Heeble blocks , wall mounting was not an option. There is  also a  mens bathroom on the other side and plumbing was also an issue.

MAXTV used a professionally Australian designed and manufactured ceiling mount bracket where the cable management is inside the tubing. The VGA cable runs up the pole and across to the reception area 4m away to the right and is linked to a PC that runs the welcome.

Client Name: Body express http://www.bodyexpress.com.au/

Here are some before and after shots. The client needed to upgrade their existing TV array and also required  a one stop solution with as little disruption to the fitness centre as possible. Carlos from MAXTV was able to provide that by organising:         

  • The purchase of the seven LCD SAMSUNG 32" screens.  
  • The  purchase and design of the Custom Designed and Australian manufactured ceiling mount bracket. Due to the ceiling being curved a swing arm type mounting system was used.
  • The demolition and removal of the existing TV bulkhead. 
  • Fitting and setup of the new LCD TV's and Ceiling Bracket.
  • The electrical contractor to tidy up electriclas an move power points

Demolition and installation were achieved over a two night period where the area was draped off to minimise dust and disruption to the gym customers
