That cleans up nicely: here in Zoetermeer you hand in old electrical appliances

When you move, have to clear a house or just do a big cleaning, it is always striking how much junk you have. And what should you do with that superfluous lawnmower, your mobile phone from 2005 or forgotten printer? Well, let them pay off or recycle them at one Wecycle point in Zoetermeer. There they give your old equipment a new life.

Wecycle wants e-waste to be circular as much as possible. A nice advantage of this is that the environment is less burdened. Giving appliances and lamps a second life is very simple. You can ‘recycle’ them. You do this by repairing, selling, giving away or handing in your discarded appliances for recycling at Wecycle collection points. In this way, the devices get a second chance as a device, component or new raw materials. This not only benefits you, but also the environment or someone else!
