How to recycle and safely dispose of Coolicon products:

If your product is still in good working condition, please consider passing it on or donating it instead of disposing of.

 

This guide explains how to recycle or dispose of our products and packaging safely and responsibly.
Recycling rules may vary depending on your location, so always check your local guidance.

 

Before you dispose of anything:

  • Reuse first: donate or pass items on if they still work
  • Recycle by material: separate parts where possible
  • Do not put electrical items in general waste
  • Use a local recycling centre when required (WEEE)

 

All Coolicon products fall under RoHS and most fall under WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) regulations. 
This means:

  • Do not dispose of electrical items in general household waste
  • Take electrical items to a local recycling centre or approved collection point
