Do you have a fridge that's outdated and doesn't cool anymore? Do you have an old window air conditioner, that blows off hot air instead of cold? Has your microwave stopped heating the food? Do you have other electronic appliances that are past their prime?
You can dispose them efficiently by giving them away for recycling or further processing. The ILoveQatar.net (ILQ) team has listed a few waste management organisations/companies that can help you get rid of used electronic appliances from homes and offices in a safe, environmentally friendly way. Check out the list below.
Qatar's Ministry Of Municipality has a special service for the disposal of volumetric waste from homes including furniture, clothes, glass, wood, iron, household waste, plastic, electrical devices, trees, cartons etc. As per them, this service applies to stand-alone villas only and can be accessed any time of the day, including weekends by calling their number.
Seashore Recycling Centre collects electronic scraps and appliances from members and also does one-time collection from non-members for a fee and at their convenience. They come directly to your doorstep for collection. At their scrap processing yard, appliances like fridges, ovens, air-conditioners, etc., go through segregation, sorting and removal of waste items.
Power Waste Management also deals with e-waste management. They collect old and discarded appliances in small and large quantities that you wish to depart with. Check out these prices for the collection below.
Al Haya Waste Management's team with coordinate with you and arrange to collect your discarded home appliances if it is in large quantities or they also have a drop-off facility at the office at Al Khaleej Street for smaller quantities. They will bring a van and a weighing machine. The weight of your appliances will be weighed and recorded in a waste manifest form, and an invoice will be generated. After you settle the bill for Al Haya's collection service, it will provide you with all the necessary documents and certificates to prove you have met the standards for waste disposal.
