Recycling
Drop your electrical waste off at Substation33 where we will dismantle it and separate the components into parts that can be recycled, reused or repurposed, and diverted from landfill.
You will be doing the environment a favour, helping us to give people meaningful work, and helping to create innovative products.
$100* refurbished desktop bundles. Starting at $100* refurbished laptops with Windows 10 - ideal for students.
Student sponsorship options available. See Bridging the Digital Divide or Contact Us for more info.
Computers for Students
At Substation33 we re-cycle and re-use electronic waste, including computers, that would otherwise end up in landfill or be left to sit in your shed or corporate store room. Unfortunately, up to 80% of students in Logan may not have access to a computer at home. Substation33 provides computers to these students and their families and we are committed to bridging the digital divide in Logan and the greater Brisbane area.
Desktop PCs
If you need a computer for the family we have a variety of desktop computers to suit your requirements. Our computers come with everything you need to plug in and get working within a few minutes - monitor, keyboard, mouse, wifi dongle and all cables.

-
Although Windows is installed, we do not sell Microsoft license keys, thus Windows is not activated. Your use of the device is not restricted in any way, but there will be a watermark on the bottom right hand of the screen saying "you need to activate windows". If the computer is going to a student they may claim a Microsoft key from their school free of charge.
