Service starts in 2025, aims to make recycling such waste more convenient
Residents islandwide can get their bulky electronic waste such as refrigerators, washing machines and televisions collected from their doorsteps for free from 2025.
Waste management firm Alba Group will offer this free service to all households to make recycling e-waste more convenient, said Senior Minister of State for Sustainability and the Environment Amy Khor on Oct 13.
Alba, which was appointed in 2021 to run the national e-waste programme, currently charges a nominal fee of $40 to remove bulky e-waste.
Mr Jakob Lambsdorff, chief executive of Alba E-Waste Smart Recycling, said the service will be free from Jan 1, 2025, except on weekends and for express collection of items.
Singapore introduced the extended producer responsibility scheme in 2021, which requires electronic goods producers and retailers to recycle their products when they are disposed of.
