“Where do I take this?” Solved with a map

Air conditioners, televisions, refrigerators/freezers, and washing machines/clothes dryers are the four categories covered by the Home Appliance Recycling Act. Sutedoko does not cover them, so please check with the retailer you are buying your replacement from, the retailer you bought the item from, or the guidance from your local government.
Why you can use Sutedoko with confidence
You have something to get rid of, but you don't know where to take it. Sutedoko solves that one thing, with a map.
Only official collection points
We list only officially announced collection points, such as local government collection sites and official in-store collection programs. We do not list unlicensed waste collection operators.
Not how to sort it, but where to take it
Instead of explaining sorting rules, we show collection points you can actually bring things to on a map. You can see at a glance where to go nearby.
Free, no sign-up, no app needed
Just open it in your browser and start moving the map. No account, no install, no fees.
Three steps to get started
Decide what you want to get rid of
Choose which category the item in your hands falls into — batteries, paper, clothing, small appliances, and more.
Find a collection point on the map
Move to your current location or another area and find a collection point you can bring it to.
Check the conditions and drop it off
Opening hours and acceptance conditions differ from one collection point to another. Please check the official information for each collection point before you go.
Know a collection point? Let us know
You can request a listing for a collection point right from the map. No sign-up required. We check whether the place is a local government collection site, an official in-store collection program, or an official collection scheme before listing it.
We do not list unlicensed waste collection operators. The four categories covered by the Home Appliance Recycling Act are also out of scope.
