24.01.2022 Yesterday Enable had a special visit from the Mayor of Hume City Council, Carly Moore where we shared morning tea and showed her the operations of our Tech recycling, online retailing and fulfilment and storage services. Mayor Moore said I use a computer every-day and didnt know what was inside! Its great to see how you create value from recycling computers. We showcased Enables learning programs designed to remove barriers to employment in our local area with the vis...ion of creating a socially, environmentally and economically connected community without disadvantage. Maria Dimitriou from the Hume Economic Development team said I have loved meeting all of you and hearing your stories and journey - its impressive and I think you are all doing a great job. Thankyou Carly Moore & Maria Dimitriou from Hume City Council for visiting, we hope to see you again soon! #ewaste #environment #socialenterprise #socent #enableitrecycling #socialimpact #broadmeadows #recyclecomputers #socialprocurement #corporatesocialresponsibility Hurdle

24.01.2022 As part of the 2019 Youth in Philanthropy Program held by the Lord Mayors Charitable Foundation, Melbourne Grammar School selected Enable IT Recycling as the recipient of $8,000 to go towards creating positive social change. We have since purchased a Walkie stacker from our kind friends Lencrow Forklifts (great deal!) and installed racking to improve our storage capabilities and efficiency in the warehouse. This contribution has also expanded our commercial work skills & jo...b taster activities, providing up to 60 participants with understanding how to operate the Walkie Stacker where they learn about lifting safety, manoeuvrability & load stabilisation. This will improve employment opportunities and have a real-life impact on social inclusion in the workforce. Thank-you to Melbourne Grammar School and the Lord Mayor's Charitable Foundation for this incredible addition to Enable.

Founder, Julie McKay said Enable moved to Broadmeadows in 2016 with the goal to improve access to industry-based, supportive work and learning opportunities for disadvantaged community in the growing e-waste sector. After this recognition, we are thinking this was a very good move, thank you!" #...socialenterprise #enableitrecycling #socialprocurement #makeadifference #ewaste #waronwaste Social Traders Australia See more

04.01.2022 Today is World Autism Awareness/Acceptance day! Like many people around the world, you may be finding it tough as our routines are changed with school and work closures, and our favourite foods may be hard to get at supermarkets.

Autism Awareness Australia has compiled some autism specific re...sources to help manage life during this crisis. www.autismawareness.com.au//autism-and-coronavirus-covid-1 Today we celebrate our Impact Partnership with Hurdle (a registered NDIS provider).
