Mobile Muster has drop off points at lots of phone shops, you can also get a free shipping label from AusPost. They take phones, phone accessories, modems, smart watches etc. but do not accept every type of ewaste.
IKEA will take light bulbs and batteries. Officeworks will take ink cartridges and storage media (CDs, hard drives).
Sounds like you've already checked out your local council's service. City of Melbourne will accept larger ewaste at a few locations. If you live in an apartment building you might be able to book an ewaste wheelie bin.
I will accept a good CRT display, or a Commodore 64 (working or non), for free... please? ๐

I'm good for a handful of micro USB cables, that's about it.
Ha I have enough of those things to dive into a mountain of them Scrooge McDuck-style ๐
