In today’s digital world, electronic waste (e-waste) is one of the fastest-growing waste streams. Many businesses and individuals wonder about the cost of recycling electronics—do you have to pay for responsible disposal, or can you actually earn money from it? At AST Recycling, we believe in rewarding responsible recycling. Here’s how our pricing and collection process works.
Do We Charge for E-Waste Collection?
No! If you're a business or corporate client, we offer free e-waste collection services. We also provide Certificates of Destruction (if required) at no extra charge, ensuring your old electronics are disposed of securely and in compliance with environmental regulations.
How Do You Get Paid for Recycling E-Waste?
Recycling shouldn't be a cost—it should be a benefit. That’s why AST Recycling pays you for your e-waste based on a standard rebate price per kilogram. Here’s what you can expect:
General e-waste – PCs, TVs, laptops, and other non-working electronics qualify for a rebate per kg.
Refurbishable or working devices – If your items are still functional or can be repaired, we’ll assess them within 12 to 21 days and offer you a value back (T&Cs apply).
Electronic components – We offer competitive rates per kg for valuable components like:
- Motherboards
- Cellphone boards
- RAM
- CPUs
- Hard drives (HDDs & SSDs)
