Where to take

Waste electrical and electronic equipment can be taken to Oivapiste at Rusko waste management centre in Oulu or to any of the regional waste drop off points in the urban area and surrounding communities.

Smaller electrical devices (physical measures do not exceed 25 cm) can be taken to large specialty stores or to hypermarkets which sell electrical and electronic equipment, no need to buy a similar new device at the same time.

In addition, most of the stores selling electric and electronic devices receive used large devices only when you buy a new similar one.
