Disposal points

After registering for the disposal online, you will need to bring your device to a disposal point set up by LTA-appointed e-waste recyclers across various HDB estates or at LTA's Sin Ming office.

Normally, these recyclers charge a fee because they are trained and equipped to ensure safe disposal of PMDs as well as the recycling of any reusable materials and components.

However, LTA is facilitating this disposal at no charge to you from Sep. 23, 2019 to March 31, 2020.

If you are eligible for and wish to get the S$100 early disposal incentive, you will need dispose of your non-UL2272 e-scooter at the designated disposal points (indicated in blue) before Nov. 30.

You can also head here for the latest list of disposal points.

The early disposal incentive will be credited to your bank or PayNow account indicated on the application form within two weeks of dropping off the devices.
