Collection of used equipment in A1 stores | About company

Broken down electrical appliances are a separate kind of waste that cannot be trashed with the regular domestic garbage. Why?

  • Because it is harmful for the environment. The materials such equipment is made of take decades to decompose or do not decompose at all, staying behind in the environment and releasing harmful compounds into the soil and atmosphere.
  • A large part of materials the electrical appliances were made of can be recycled! For example, lithium from the batteries can be recycled to make more batteries.

 

All A1 stores have their own portable electronic equipment collecting system in place. All the equipment is collected and sent to the appropriate recycling facility for further processing.

How to give away used equipment to A1?

 
 

1) Take your old equipment

Year of manufacture, brand, model or device condition do not matter.

2) Take it to one of A1 stores

You can turn over your obsolete devices in any A1 store.

3) Give the device away

Hand the old or broken equipment to an A1 store employee or place it in a special EcoBox (if there is any).

4) Feel a little happier, because you've just helped save the planet

And to thank you for your caring attitude towards the environment, and if the necessary conditions are met, you can get cool bonuses, too.
