Benefits for Schools

Schools, colleges, and training organisation’s located in Dublin and surrounding areas now have the opportunity to recycle old and once-valued electrical, electronic and pure metal equipment. If you need to declutter and create space for educational needs recycling safely can really help.

It’s important for school children and teens to see electronic recycling because it helps them understand how to protect the environment by reducing electronic waste. It helps teach all ages about conserving resources, preventing pollution, and taking responsibility for properly disposing of old electronics to create a healthier planet for everyone. Maybe its time to get your students involved in some pre summer recycling.

Free Collection Service

Our service is offered free and is dedicated to reducing large amounts of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) which accumulates in classrooms, canteens, stores, and labs over time.

Recycle IT, is a community-based social enterprise, offering a simple and efficient route to recycle unused electrical and electronic items. After collection, items are broken down and recovered materials are processed for use in the manufacture of a new product. Your recycling helps sustain our organization and create employment and training opportunities.

The free collection service helps safely divert e-waste from landfills and makes use of old items that may have been thrown away. The types of items usually collected include computers, kitchen equipment, phone systems, mobile phones, laptops, tablets, monitors, projectors, printers, battery-operated toys, televisions, and radios.
