The entire Victorian Officeworks operation is up for a Premier’s Sustainability Award in the large business category for its ‘Bring IT Back’ program, which was trialled in Ballarat before going statewide.
Store manager Kael Aisbett said it was successful in Ballarat “so they took it further”.
Officeworks has invited people to bring in old computers, printers and monitors for the past year. The Ballarat store has taken in more than 10 tons of old electronics.
“It saves it from going to landfill, which is good, because we sell so much of it,” he said.
The winner of the award will be announced on October 2.
