For (collection)partners
From USB sticks to complex devices and beyond
Over the past 25 years, we have built a strong and dedicated network together, encompassing knowledge, materials, and collection points. Thanks to the power of unity, we’ve created a streamlined chain that simplifies and improves the processes for collecting discarded devices, lamps, and batteries.
Collecting, sorting, transporting, and recycling discarded devices, lamps, and batteries is therefore a crucial step in the circularity of these products.
Together with Wecycle drop-off points, such as municipalities, we aim to prevent discarded electrical devices, lamps, and batteries from ending up in other waste streams.

Are you a Wecycle drop-off point (for businesses) or would you like to become one?
As a drop-off point, you accept discarded devices, lamps, and/or batteries from companies and keep them separate. It’s important to ensure these products remain as intact and undamaged as possible.

Submit collection request
