What is the free home appliance visit service?

The Ministry of Environment, local governments, and electronics producers have established a collection system so that people can easily make a reservation and dispose of waste home appliances, and the Korea Electronics Resources Circulation Mutual Aid Association is operating a ‘free home appliance collection service’. With this service, we expect to reduce the burden of citizens by exempting waste home appliance discharge fees and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by blocking illegal disposal of waste home appliances in advance. The waste home appliances collected through the free on-site collection service are treated in an eco-friendly way.

This completes the reservation for free collection of waste home appliances. The visit date is set after 6:00 pm the day before the desired discharge date, and the visiting driver’s personal information is sent via text message. Finally, when the date of your visit arrives, you can prepare your items in advance and deliver them to the visiting driver.

Non-face-to-face collection is recommended to prevent the spread of Corona 19 and ensure customer safety, so it would be best to leave it at the door on the date of the driver’s visit.
