E-Waste Collection in Singapore
Phones, laptops, monitors, printers, appliances. Cleared from your unit, sorted at source, and routed through licensed recycling intermediaries so your old electronics don't default to general waste.
WhatsApp UsWhat Counts as E-Waste — and Why It Shouldn't Sit Around
E-waste covers anything electronic or electrical that's ready to go — dead smartphones, retired laptops, old printers, the kitchen blender that finally gave up. It's one of the fastest-growing waste streams worldwide.
Without proper routing, toxic substances inside electronics — lead, mercury, cadmium, brominated flame retardants — can contaminate soil and groundwater. Singapore's regulations around regulated e-waste streams exist for that reason.
Improper disposal also wastes recoverable material. Circuit boards contain gold, silver, copper, and rare-earth elements. Material recovery reduces the need for environmentally destructive mining.
In our 10+ years across Singapore, we've seen a lot of e-waste sitting in storerooms because the customer wasn't sure where it should go. The answer is usually: not the general bin chute — through a proper recycling channel. We handle the pickup and routing.
What We Collect
From a single phone to a full office IT clear-out.
Unsure about an item? WhatsApp us a photo and we'll confirm.
What we don't take: loose lithium batteries outside a device, cars or motorcycles, chemicals, asbestos, food waste, gas tanks.
How We Route Your E-Waste
Sort at Source
E-waste is separated from general bulky items before anything leaves your premises. That single step is what determines whether items go into the right recycling stream or get mixed into general waste.
Licensed Intermediaries
Items go through licensed waste-management intermediaries that are equipped to handle proper material recovery — dismantling, separating metals and plastics, and routing hazardous components through the right channels.
Honest About What We Are
We're a collection and routing service — not a NEA-licensed e-waste collector and not a data-destruction specialist. If you need formal certificates of destruction or NEA paperwork, a licensed operator will serve you better. For everything else, we'll clear it and route it properly.

We reply with a clear quote — including any surcharges that apply (after-hours, walk-up, stairs, ramps). No hidden costs, no surprises on the day.
We Collect and Route It
Our crew collects the e-waste at the agreed time. Items go through licensed recycling intermediaries equipped to recover materials properly — not into general waste.
Why Proper Routing Matters
Hazardous Materials Don't Belong in General Waste
A single CRT monitor can contain several kilos of lead. Smartphones carry mercury and cadmium. Lithium batteries degrade over time and become fire hazards in storage. The longer these items sit around without a proper destination, the greater the risk.
Recoverable Material
Electronics contain recoverable copper, aluminium, gold, palladium and rare-earth elements. Material recovery at scale reduces the need for environmentally destructive mining. None of that happens if the item ends up in a general-waste incinerator.
Semakau Has a Deadline
Singapore's only landfill is projected to reach capacity by 2035. Every kilo of e-waste routed into recycling instead of incineration is a small contribution to extending its life. The maths only works if proper sorting and routing happen up-front — at the collection point — rather than at the back end of a mixed-waste load.

Frequently Asked Questions
Anything that runs on electricity or batteries — phones, tablets, laptops, desktops, TVs, monitors, printers, networking gear, cables, chargers, small kitchen appliances, and large appliances like fridges, washers and air-con units. Not sure about something specific? WhatsApp us a photo and we'll confirm.
We collect batteries only when they're in proper e-waste form — inside a UPS unit or attached to the device they came from. Loose lithium cells and damaged batteries need dedicated battery-recycling channels and we'd point you to the right drop-off rather than collect them ourselves.
We don't run a recycling facility. Collected e-waste goes through licensed waste-management intermediaries equipped to recover materials — separating metals, plastics, and other streams — before residuals enter the general disposal chain. We're not NEA-licensed and we don't provide formal certificates of destruction. For organisations that need that paperwork, engage a NEA-licensed e-waste collector directly.
Yes — bulk office IT clearances are common work for us. PCs, monitors, printers, networking equipment, accumulated peripherals. We can schedule outside business hours where building access allows (extra charges apply for after-hours, Sundays, and public holidays).
We strongly recommend wiping or destroying drives yourself before collection if your data is sensitive. We're a collection-and-routing service, not a certified data-destruction provider — once items leave with us, they enter the recycling chain, but we don't issue destruction certificates.
Loose lithium batteries (outside a device), cars/motorcycles, chemicals (paints and solvents are fine), asbestos, food/biological waste, cooking gas tanks, dead animals, anything explosive or hazardous.
