Back

(draft) How to return and recycle your BT equipment for free

Big things are coming at EE

BT and EE are part of the same family, and big things are coming for the EE brand. But this won't change any of the BT services you have with us today. Read more about the changes coming to EE.

You can help reduce the environmental impact of your BT equipment by sending it back to us. We'll reuse some of the components and recycle the rest.

It’s free to return equipment. We’ll send you the packaging.

Around one million hubs, WiFi discs and TV Boxes are thrown away every year. 

We could be recycling them safely or putting them back into homes. 

Please return BT equipment to us. We'll charge a fee if you decide to keep it. 

You have 60 days to return any equipment.
