For a business or office, the best way to recycle e-waste in Singapore is to engage KGS's e-waste recycling service — licensed collection for your old computers, servers and electronics, with certified data destruction built in. At home, use KGS TakeBag (free), or find a KGS e-waste bin near you.
One rule applies either way: never bin your electronics — old drives still hold your data, and the materials inside are hazardous in a landfill. Prefer to skip ahead? Jump to why engage KGS, recycling at home with TakeBag, or the FAQs.

For a business, old hardware still holds company and customer data and has to be disposed of responsibly — so a licensed recycler beats sorting it into public bins. KGS is NEA-licensed and collects from commercial and residential premises, handling an office clear-out or equipment refresh for you.
The real reason to engage KGS is data security — old drives still hold sensitive data long after a file is 'deleted'. KGS provides certified data destruction (erasure, degaussing, shredding and crushing, with a certificate of destruction) and IT asset disposition (ITAD) for a full office or data-centre exit, all through a licensed, traceable chain.

For an old laptop, phone or a few gadgets, you don't need a service contract. KGS TakeBag is free, and KGS handles the rest — including wiping any data.
Got an old laptop? Skip the donation hunt — just bag it. Order a free TakeBag.
The national e-waste scheme has 1,000+ collection points in malls, supermarkets and community centres — a laptop, phone or router drops straight in. Find one on NEA's recycle.gov.sg bin map or the KGS bin finder, and wipe your device first.
Buying a replacement? Many retailers take your old device back for recycling — just wipe your data first.
Electronics aren't general rubbish. They contain lead and mercury that pollute a landfill, while the metals inside — gold, copper, aluminium — are lost if not recovered. And any drive you throw out still holds your data unless it's destroyed. Recycling through KGS or a licensed channel protects both the environment and your information.

KGS is an NEA-licensed recycler that collects e-waste from commercial and residential premises and recycles it through a compliant, traceable chain. For businesses the key advantage is data security — certified data destruction plus bulk collection from an office clear-out or refresh, so you stay compliant without doing the work yourself.
Yes. A deleted file isn't an erased file, so KGS provides certified data destruction — erasure, degaussing, shredding and crushing to recognised standards — with a certificate of destruction as proof. That's why businesses should engage KGS rather than just reformatting or binning old equipment.
KGS collects computers, laptops, servers and networking equipment; monitors, TVs and displays; printers, scanners and office peripherals; mobile phones, tablets and consumer electronics; and bulk or mixed end-of-life electronics from office moves and refreshes. For a full office or data-centre exit, KGS also handles IT asset disposition (ITAD).
Use KGS TakeBag. Order a bag, fill it with your old laptop, phone and small electronics, and drop it at any of 1,100+ Pick! lockers islandwide — KGS recycles it and destroys the data for you, free.
No. Electronics contain lead and mercury that pollute a landfill, the metals inside are lost, and any drive you bin still holds your data. Recycle e-waste through KGS, a public NEA e-waste bin, or retailer take-back instead.
