Recycling

Like all others in society, companies are stewards of the earth’s resources. Garmin and other companies recognize that when our products have finished their useful life, they become electronic waste. When electronics are not disposed of or recycled properly, certain materials in these products can present potential health and environmental problems. Safely recycling well-worn electronics can promote the safe management of hazardous components and supports the recovery and reuse of valuable materials.

Product Recycling Concept

In an effort to contribute to the establishment of a recycling based society, Garmin promotes the 3Rs (reduce, reuse and recycle). Recycling products saves resources and reduces waste.

Product Recycling Worldwide

Garmin recognizes the urgent need for recycling and our need to minimize the environmental impact of our products. Accordingly, Garmin has either established or is considering the establishment of recycling systems in Japan, Europe, the United States, China and elsewhere around the world.

Garmin welcomes the opportunity to contribute to the protection of human health and the environmentally sound recovery and disposal of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment.  To that end, Garmin aims to comply with Directive 2002/96/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) (the “WEEE Directive”). Click here for further information on the WEEE Directive. In addition, Garmin holds regular environmental meetings and monitors recycling trends to stay current with recycling needs and to ensure compliance in other countries in which we do business.

In accordance with Article 11 of the WEEE Directive, upon request, Garmin will provide the information needed by reuse centers and treatment and recycling facilities in order to comply with the provisions of the WEEE Directive in the reuse, treatment or recycling of Garmin products covered by the WEEE Directive.  To request this information, please fill out and submit this form.
