The partnership between ENVIRON and Romanian Post aims to give people across Romania a simple way to recycle their old electrical devices. Old phones, chargers, cables, broken hair dryers and electric toys that no longer work can be dropped off free of charge at participating post offices, with no extra trips or complicated procedures.

Around 4,700 post offices will be equipped with collection containers for small waste electrical and electronic equipment in stages, by March 2027.

On your way to the post office? Bring along the small electronics you no longer use.
