Where can you recycle your Hisense products if you live in Leeds? Don't worry; there are several places to help you dispose of old electronics responsibly.
Hisense, unfortunately, doesn't have a trade-in or recycling programme for its products directly. However, you still have options when it comes to getting rid of old TVs, fridges, and other Hisense gadgets.
*According to the WHO, improper [what is e-waste](https://ecyclingcentral.com/glossary/e-waste) disposal releases toxic substances including lead, mercury, and cadmium into soil and water.*
First off, Currys PC World and Argos both operate in Leeds and accept electrical waste under the [WEEE](https://ecyclingcentral.com/regulations/weee-directive-eu) (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) directive. They'll take your Hisense devices even if they didn't sell them originally. Just bring your items to one of their stores during opening hours.
Alternatively, you can check out local council recycling centres-known as Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs). Leeds City Council has several HWRCs where you can drop off electronic waste for free. These sites are designed to handle a wide range of electrical goods and ensure they're recycled properly.
If you prefer online options, there are still some trade-in programmes available that accept Hisense products. For example, Amazon Trade-In lets you send in your old gadgets for gift cards or discounts on future purchases. You can also look into sites like Gazelle or [Back Market](https://ecyclingcentral.com/recyclers/back-market-refurbished) if you want to get cash or store credit instead.
*According to the UN Global E-Waste Monitor 2024, only 22.3% of e-waste was properly collected and recycled in 2022.*
Remember, it's important to recycle electrical items properly because they contain materials that could be harmful to the environment if not disposed of correctly. According to UK law, from 2019 onwards, WEEE regulations have made it mandatory for retailers and manufacturers to provide free take-back services for old electrical products.
So, whether you go with a store like Currys or Argos, one of Leeds' HWRCs, or an online service, there's no excuse not to recycle your Hisense devices responsibly.
