Old and unused power banks left unused in drawers at home are actually dangerous. It is safest to take them to a professional recycling center as soon as possible! The Taipei City Environmental Protection Bureau has joined hands with Tsann Kuen 3C, Shenao International and Deyi Digital to launch a 7-day limited-time recycling event for used power banks. As long as you take 3 old power banks to designated stores for recycling, you can exchange them for a 50-yuan Uni-President Supermarket product card. Each person can receive up to 150 yuan. The event has started on November 2 and will end on November 8. There are only five days left, so people can seize the time.

A total of 60 3C stores in Taipei City participated in this event, including 31 Tsann Kuen 3C stores, 22 Shenao International stores, and 7 Deyi Digital stores. The redemption rules are quite simple. As long as you recycle 3 waste power banks at a time, you can get a 50 yuan 7-11 supermarket product card. Each person is limited to 1 redemption at each of the 3 merchants, which means that a maximum of 3 redemptions can be made and a 150 yuan product card can be obtained.

It should be noted that the total number of product cards is limited to 3,600, while supplies last. In addition, not all branches of the three operators are participating. It is recommended that the public confirm the remaining status of the designated stores and product cards before setting off to avoid a wasted trip.

In addition to exchanging product cards for recycling, the three operators also simultaneously launched discounts. Tsann Kuen 3C offers physical members a preferential trade-in price for designated power banks, and a free charging transmission line when purchasing designated products; Shen Nao International offers new members a 50-yuan Shen Nao coin, and an additional 500 yuan discount for purchasing designated solid-state power banks; Deyi Digital also provides new members with a 100-yuan shopping credit, and a 500-yuan discount on designated power banks. The number of relevant discounts and gifts shall be subject to announcements by each operator.

The Taipei City Environmental Protection Bureau also reminds that old power banks cannot be discarded directly as general garbage. The power banks contain lithium batteries. If they are thrown into general garbage, they may be squeezed or collided with garbage trucks during compression and transportation, which may cause a fire risk. Even if they miss this event, the public must still dispose of it properly through resource recycling trucks and other legal recycling channels to reduce risks.
