Says the ABS:

    It has been estimated that in Australia, in 2006, there will be
    around 1.6 million computers disposed of in landfill, another
    1.8 million in storage (in addition to the 5.3 million already
    gathering dust in garages and other storage areas) and half a
    million recycled, according to the "Advancing Australia" report
    from the Department of Communications, Information Technology
    and the Arts.
