WEEE and battery take‑back: the rules

Never put WEEE or waste batteries in your household wheelie bin. All old electrical goods and batteries must be recycled.

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) is taken back free of charge on a one-for-one, like-for-like basis. Waste batteries including rechargeable batteries are taken back free of charge. You are not obliged to make any purchase when returning old batteries. Each local authority must also accept household WEEE and small batteries free of charge at its recycling facilities. All WEEE and waste batteries must be recycled and should not be placed in any of your household wheelie bins. Make sure you always recycle all your old electrical goods and batteries.

This applies at every electrical retailer in Ireland. Take-back is available at Euronics member stores: find your nearest store.

What you can recycle

Large appliances

Washing machines, fridges, freezers, cookers and other big kitchen & home appliances.

DCAAAAAFlat
We can't accept industrial batteries.

Recycling on delivery

If you're having a new large home appliance delivered, we collect your old equivalent at no charge. This is the one-for-one take-back that the WEEE Regulations require of every electrical retailer. To help our driver:

  • Make sure the old appliance is disconnected, clean and ready at the time of delivery.

Small appliances (kettles, toasters, irons, microwaves, hair‑dryers, etc.) are not collected on delivery. Bring your old one to any Euronics store and we take it back at no charge.

Why recycle?

Old electricals and batteries can contain hazardous substances. Recycling them properly means their materials can be recovered and used again.
