Broken appliance?
Take it to a Recupel point in Liège!
If you live in Liège, properly disposing of old appliances can seem difficult. Getting to a recycling centre, for example, is not easy if you don’t have a car. And while simply leaving your stuff on the street may seem like a good solution because it tends to magically disappear, doing so can be harmful to the environment and society. Old electrical appliances must be recycled correctly, to minimize pollution and to enable the reuse of as many parts as possible.
Fortunately, there is always a Recupel point near you. Correctly disposing of old appliances was never easier!
Free
It’s free in all Recupel points.
Easy !
It's easy, because there are plenty of Recupel points in Brussels. You can find them at supermarkets, electrical shops, do-it-yourself stores and recycling parks, for example.
Good for the planet
Is your appliance still working? Give it a second life by donating it to someone, or drop it off at your local thrift store.
Cleaner
The streets are no place for electronic waste: you don’t know where they will wind up. If taken to a landfill, for example, they will end up polluting the soil for hundreds of years.

Did you know …?
When you buy a new device, the store you get it from has to take back your old, similar device. Large chains are even obliged to accept your small devices without you making a purchase.
