GOODSERCLE promoting a circular economy by extending the lifespan of whitegoods (large household appliances) through a comprehensive process of collection, refurbishment, and redistribution. The organization collaborates with households, businesses, local councils, and community groups across Melbourne to facilitate the responsible disposal of unwanted or end-of-use whitegoods. Recognizing the challenges residents face in transporting bulky appliances to recycling centers, GOODSERCLE offers a convenient pre-booked collection service, ensuring appliances are handled properly from the outset. Once collected, skilled technicians at GOODSERCLE's workshop meticulously refurbish the appliances. This process involves thorough inspection, repair, and restoration to meet high-quality and safety standards, effectively extending the appliances' operational life. The refurbished whitegoods are then made available at affordable prices to individuals and families in need. This approach not only provides essential household items to underserved communities but also significantly reduces the volume of waste directed to landfills. Through these methods, GOODSERCLE effectively reduces e-waste, lowers greenhouse gas emissions, and fosters environmental sustainability while supporting community welfare.
