Substation 33

YFS is a not-for-profit organisation that delivers a wide range of services to the people of Logan and beyond. We cater to people who are disadvantages, vulnerable or want to improve their circumstance. YFS also champions social enterprise, with four of varying size and purpose.

Our vision is building independence and participation. Our purpose is to deliver services designed to promote independence and citizenship. We champion rights and responsibilities and clients taking up social, cultural and economic opportunities.

Substation33 is a social enterprise of YFS.

Substation33 opened its doors in January 2013 as an electronic waste recycling centre, providing a workplace where volunteers and employees gain confidence and skills for the transition to sustainable employment.

Substation 33 is an alternate and eco-friendly way to dispose of eWaste. We accept everything electronic, including computers, mobile phones, televisions and game consoles. We even accept those vintage treasures like record players.

If you've got some eWaste you're looking to dispose of, contact us on 3826 1533 or 0439 843 706 to arrange a pick up for a small fee or come down to our Kingston location to drop it off for free.

Once we've collected your eWaste, our team of volunteers decide what to do next. The electronics we decide are too good to waste are checked thoroughly to make sure you get exactly what's advertised. Everything else, we pull apart and source back into the manufacturing stream.

By choosing to support Substation 33 (by donating your eWaste or buying our products) you're not only reducing your carbon footprint, but also supporting our other mission; to provide practical work experience for a wide range of people disadvantaged in the employment market.
