Decathlon Philippines

You can drop off your e-waste at Decathlon Philippines branches nearest you — Alabang, Pasig, and Masinag. Make sure you double-check with the branch if they’re still accepting e-waste before you visit.

You can also request for E-Waste Management to pick your e-waste up door-to-door if they’re available. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, their team has had to pause a huge part of their operations.
