Recycling smaller items
We will send you a prepaid label for you to send us your item. Please ensure all items are securely packaged, otherwise your items could be refused and returned to you. If this happens, you will not be entitled to a refund or be able to request another label. Please also ensure you have backed up and removed all data from your old device before you post it, as we will not be able to return it to you afterwards. Postage is subject to the following parcel size and weight restrictions.
Maximum Height: 100 cm
Maximum Weight: 30 kg
Cost: £5 per item
Trade in for an instant discount
If you have an old phone, tablet, laptop or smartwatch that you no longer want, you might be able to trade it in for a discount on a brand new Galaxy device. Better for you, and the environment too.
Recycling larger items
We will collect your item at the same time we deliver your new Samsung product. Please ensure appliances are drained of water and/or defrosted, and that all contents have been removed. All items must also be disconnected from mains power, plumbing, and/or fixtures.
You also need to make sure the item being collected is accessible, so it can easily be removed from the property. Please note that once we have collected your item, we will be unable to return it.
Cost: £25 per item
Further recycling options
If you are not making a purchase from Samsung.com, then you can still recycle your old electrical and electronic items using your local civic amenity site. You can find your nearest WEEE recycling center here.
WEEE Regulations
The UK Waste Electrical & Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations 2013 aim to reduce the environmental impact of electrical and electronic waste on the environment, as well as increase the frequency of it being reused, recovered or recycled, instead of ending up in landfill. Electrical equipment that ends up in landfill can lead to hazardous substances leaking out, causing soil and water contamination, which can harm both human health and wildlife.
Samsung Electronics (UK) Limited (SEUK) has obligations as both a producer and distributor of electrical and electronic equipment. To manage our responsibilities as a producer, we work with a Producer Compliance Scheme (PCS) and finance the collection and treatment of WEEE, when it is disposed of by consumers at waste collection or civic amenity sites.
As a distributor, SEUK offers a takeback service for waste electronics, when customers purchase a similar item from Samsung.com or Samsung KX. Items are either collected or sent via courier to our recycling partners, and recycled, reused or disposed of safely.
A more sustainable future
Recycling options are just one of the many ways Samsung is helping to make the world a more sustainable place for future generations.
