Recycling of old equipment at Eldorado: reviews of the program. Read more about the promotion for washing machines in Eldorado for recycling

Household appliances have long become an integral part of the lives of all Russians. However, technological progress does not stand still, and new items appear in stores almost every day. Naturally, many people have a desire to become the owner of new, more functional equipment, but the question immediately arises: what to do with the old one?

In principle, one of the options here could be a summer house, where you can take a TV or a refrigerator of a respectable age. Many children used to give away their old mobile phones parents when they bought them new ones. However, all this is only a temporary way out of the situation - this or that thing will still someday either turn out to be hopelessly outdated, or lose its original qualities, that is, it will break.

At the same time, we should not forget that almost all such products contain plastic and a certain amount non-ferrous metals. Therefore, simply throwing obsolete equipment into a landfill is not the best solution. best option. IN Western countries this problem has long been solved - there are enterprises that specialize in recycling household appliances. It is to them that all the rubbish that has served its purpose is taken down.

However, in Russian Federation the situation is different. According to statistics, here no more than 4 percent of used devices are handed over to household appliance recycling centers, while the rest is simply thrown away. Moreover, it is often simply placed in a regular garbage container in the yard. This approach is fundamentally wrong, but people simply have no other choice, since an apartment is still not a warehouse, and there are very few companies involved in this.

In 2019, it began operating in the Russian Federation government program on recycling of household appliances. However, it is clearly premature to talk about it as a solution to the problem. The state does not offer to take away all equipment for free for recycling, but only washing machines and refrigerators with a service life of more than 15 years.

Large retail chains came to the rescue

As mentioned above, one of the most important reasons for replacing old household appliances is buying new ones. In 2019, Russians have long gotten rid of the Soviet mentality, when a TV was bought for 15-20 years. Many people can afford to buy annually new model– it is clear that this is not the main part of the country’s population, but, nevertheless.

Manufacturers, trying to conquer as much as possible more buyers, they release at least one new model a year, and in most cases a whole scattering of new products appears on the shelves. In addition, in 2019, citizens with average incomes who made their last acquisitions of this kind 5-6 years ago can exchange their old equipment for new ones.

Naturally, they would like to do more than just buy something new. The question of how to get rid of old household appliances is still relevant. And this is where large Russian retail chains came to the rescue, offering their own promotions for recycling used TVs, washing machines, refrigerators, and so on. Let's see what conditions retailers offer Russians today.

"El Dorado". In this retail chain, the size of the discounts provided in exchange for the old household appliances, depends on the product category, and not on the purchase amount. As a rule, such events are held here 1-2 times a year under different names, however, the essence of their customers is quite clear. You can replace almost any type of household appliance, while the amount of discount provided by the network ranges from 1 to 20 percent. In particular, Eldorado accepts the following technology:

• video and audio televisions, music centers, players and so on;
• digital – cameras, tablets, smartphones, mobile phones;
• small and large household appliances - juicers, multicookers, vacuum cleaners, meat grinders, food processors, hoods, gas stoves, washing machines, air conditioners, boilers, refrigerators.

In this case, the degree of damage or breakdown, in fact, does not matter here. Another advantage of Eldorado’s promotions for recycling household appliances is their categorical nature. This is indeed a very significant plus in the eyes of potential buyers. The thing is that a person can bring, for example, a mobile phone, and get a discount when purchasing any product from this category - a camera, a tablet, and so on. When ordering delivery new technology The old one will be taken home directly on the spot, meaning you won’t have to carry it anywhere. It is worth noting that trading network does not accept accessories or consumables.

At Eldorado, just such an action was carried out, called “recycling”. It began on September 29 and lasted until October 26, 2017. According to the terms of the promotion, everyone who hands over old equipment to a retail chain store can receive funds on a bonus card in the amount of 20 to 30 percent of the cost of the goods or a discount on certain types technology.

One thing to pay attention to important point. Not the entire range of goods presented in retail outlets takes part in the promotion. For more detailed information, it is recommended to contact your sales consultant. A bonus or discount is provided only if the old equipment is handed over in full accordance with current rules. Their size can be found directly on the price tag.

Parts, components or components will not be accepted. old technology. Only the main kit should be brought as scrap that can participate in the promotion. Products returned by the buyer to the store cannot be returned. If the buyer exchanges system unit from a computer or laptop, he is allowed to transfer all the data stored there to a new product - to do this, he needs to contact a technical specialist at a particular retail outlet. Information about the conditions for providing this service should be clarified locally.

"M.Video". This retail chain also periodically holds promotions for the recycling of household appliances, helping people get rid of things that, in fact, only clutter the apartment. The retailer first launched this kind of promotion in 2016. Then it lasted 35 days, and received many friendly responses from clients, and deservedly so. There is nothing surprising about this - people simply appreciated the opportunity to get rid of unnecessary things without unnecessary hassle. In addition to the fact that delivery of purchases and removal of old equipment by network employees is free.

On September 27, M.Video launched another such promotion - it ended on October 31, 2017. It is very easy to take advantage of this offer. You just need to select the product participating in the promotion and inform the seller of your desire to participate in the free recycling program. It is worth noting that its terms do not apply to goods presented in the online store. You can exchange your equipment for a new one by contacting any of the traditional retail outlets of the network.

However, there are certain restrictions. In particular, the promotion does not include products of such brands, like Loewe, Smeg and Miele, as well as other brands classified as “substandard”. If the buyer orders free recycling, then in this case the discounts on the kit no longer apply.

You can exchange any product, regardless of purchase. For example, when purchasing a TV, you can order recycling of your washing machine. At the same time, before the visit of company representatives, you should prepare in a certain way. In particular, old equipment intended for removal must be turned off and dismantled. The terms of the promotion also apply to goods purchased in installments under all existing lending programs. However, its participants cannot become individual entrepreneurs And legal entities. Many Russians have already taken advantage of this offer, and, judging by most reviews on the Internet, they were satisfied.

Similar promotions for replacing old household appliances with new ones are also available in other large retail chains. The two most typical examples for retailers were described above. The rest may have some slight differences, while in general the principle is the same everywhere: we give away the old product, we receive the new one on preferential terms. More detailed information really get directly into point of sale– sales consultants will not only tell you everything, but will also suggest the most optimal option for you.
