Recycling Fee

At DroneDepot, we sell electronic devices that often contain batteries, such as drones, Action cameras, and accessories. In Belgium, there are legal requirements regarding the collection and recycling of electronic devices and batteries. Among other things, fees are charged for contributions to Recupel and Bebat.

On this page, you can read about what these fees cover, how they are factored into our prices, and where you can return old devices and Batterij(s).

What is the recycling fee?

The fees for electrical appliances and Batterijen help finance the collection, processing, and recycling of discarded products. This allows valuable raw materials to be recovered and prevents harmful substances from entering the environment.

In Belgium, these two systems are primarily applicable to our products:

  • Recupel: for electrical and electronic devices. For more information, visit recupel.be.
  • Bebat: voor Batterijen, inclusief diegene die in apparaten zijn ingebouwd. Voor meer informatie, bezoek bebat.be.

Is the fee already included in the price?

Yes. The applicable Recupel and Bebat fees are included in our prices. Therefore, no additional charges for these fees will be added at checkout.

Trade in your old device

Are you buying a new device from us? If so, you can trade in the old device you’re replacing for free.

If you mail in your old device, you’ll be responsible for the shipping costs. Would you rather stop by? Please schedule an appointment, as we operate by appointment only. That way, we can take our time helping each customer.

You can also drop off your old device for free at a recycling center in Belgium.

Return Batteries

You can also drop off used Batteries at our location. In addition, you can drop them off at any Bebat collection point, such as many stores and the recycling center.

Tip for drone batteries: Lithium batteries should never be disposed of with general waste. Cover the contacts with tape before you turn them in to prevent short circuits.

Any questions?

Do you have a question about the recycling fee or about returning an appliance? Feel free to contact us.
