Most Russians do not know what to do with old large appliances: washing machines, televisions, ovens, etc. An old refrigerator becomes a particular problem. Large and massive, it takes up a lot of space, but does not cope with its functions. Old refrigerators are taken to the dacha, sold for a small price on Avito or similar sites, and taken to trash cans. A much more profitable option is to replace your old refrigerator with a new one at a special offer.
In addition to the economic benefits, recycling your refrigerator is a way to protect the environment. Many refrigerators use freon as a refrigerant. If you throw a refrigerator into a landfill, under the influence of ultraviolet rays it will begin to disintegrate into components that are hazardous to the environment. According to experts, freon contributes to the destruction of the ozone layer.
In the large chain of Eldorado stores, which sell household appliances and electronics, a promotion is periodically held, according to the rules of which you can hand over your old equipment in exchange for a discount on the purchase of a new household appliance. The size of the discount depends on the product and can reach 20%.
Old equipment recycling program at Eldorado
- select a product from those marked with a green “Recycling” icon;
- go to the cart and select “Get a discount on this product”;
- select the category of equipment to be scrapped;
- Click on the “Get Discount” button.
In addition to the refrigerator, you can donate any other equipment to the store: an air conditioner, a yogurt maker, a tablet, a juicer, and more. At the same time, the store accepts any devices, regardless of their service life. The size of the discount does not depend on the condition of the equipment.
Promotion rules in Eldorado stores
To return an old refrigerator in exchange for a new one with an additional payment in an Eldorado store, you must adhere to the following rules:
- Select a new product exclusively from equipment marked with the “Recycling” icon. Promotional discounts do not apply to all products.
- Follow the timing of the promotion on the company's official website. Typically the duration of the promotion is about 1 month.
- The main set of equipment must be handed over. Parts and components are not subject to return.
Attention! A refrigerator returned by the buyer cannot be returned.
"El Dorado"
One of the main advantages of the Eldorado promotion is the free removal of old large equipment, which includes a refrigerator. Before the store's movers arrive, the buyer must independently disconnect the refrigerator from the network, empty it and prepare it for removal.
By disposing of an old refrigerator, the buyer can receive a discount on the purchase of a new refrigerator or any other product that participates in the promotion: a vacuum cleaner, washing machine, gas stove, multicooker, etc.
Promotions from other stores
In addition to Eldorado, some other stores that sell household appliances also organize promotions to exchange old refrigerators for a discount on the purchase of a new device.
In most stores, after handing over your old equipment, you can get a discount not on any promotional product, but only on products from one group. Those. When scrapping an old refrigerator, the buyer receives a discount only on the purchase of a new refrigerator. He cannot buy a TV or microwave at a discount, only a refrigerator.
The recycling program in all stores has the same conditions:
- Limited duration. Many companies hold such promotions once a year.
- Free removal of large equipment. This is carried out only if the weight of the household appliance does not exceed 100 kg.
- Limited number of products participating in the promotion. Accurate information must be clarified on the official websites of companies and at retail outlets from sellers.
- Discounts cannot be combined. Even if you return more than 1 piece of equipment, the discount on the product will not increase. In addition, the recycling program does not include products that are included in other promotions, have a discount, or are marked down.
- If the new product turns out to be defective, then after confirmation of the defect by the service center, the buyer will be refunded the promotional price of the product.
The size of the discount depends on the cost of the product purchased. The discount is not affected by the brand, estimated value and condition of the refrigerator that is being scrapped.
Thus, before getting rid of your old refrigerator by throwing it in the trash, you should think carefully about everything. First, it makes sense to visit the nearest stores that sell household appliances and find out if they have programs for replacing old appliances with new ones. The Eldorado store provides the most favorable conditions for the recycling program to its customers. Participating in such promotions will help you save on the purchase of a new refrigerator and contribute to environmental protection.
Home appliance stores use various marketing tactics to attract new customers and increase brand loyalty. One of the most attractive promotions in recent years is the exchange of old equipment for new ones at M.Video. But is such an offer really beneficial for buyers or is there a catch hidden behind the loud slogans?
Chain of stores "M.Video"
Probably every Russian knows the M.Video retail chain selling household appliances and electronics, since stores are located in 169 major cities of the Russian Federation. The company has been operating for 25 years and in recent years has occupied a leading position in sales among competing companies. The number of chain stores is constantly growing and in 2018 is already approaching the anniversary mark of 500 shopping centers. At M.Video, customers can purchase products from the following categories:
- TVs, audio-video, Hi-Fi.
- Laptops and computer equipment.
- Smartphones and gadgets.
- Photo and video.
- Kitchen appliances.
- Home Appliances.
- Beauty and health.
- Automotive electronics.
- Games and software, entertainment.
- Accessories.
- Apple.
Healthy! The range of goods presented in the chain's stores includes more than 20,000 items of household appliances and electronics from a variety of brands. At M.Video, customers with any level of delivery can choose the right item for themselves or their home at the right price.
Exchange of old equipment
Promotions related to the use of customers’ old appliances are periodically held in the Russian retailer’s stores under different conditions. But all the marketing techniques used, one way or another, represent a certain benefit for M.Video clients.
Promotion “Turn in your old equipment and get a discount”
The company invites customers to donate their obsolete household appliances and receive a significant financial bonus for them when making a purchase. Among the main conditions of the promotion are the following:
- Replacing the device with a similar one is not necessary. That is, if a visitor wants to buy a refrigerator, he does not have to hand over his own. You can bring what you have available: electric kettles, TVs, cameras, washing machines, computers, etc.
- Items are accepted in any condition. Home equipment may be old (for example, Soviet TVs), broken or non-working. The main thing is that the device looks intact in appearance, since a set of spare parts will not be accepted for participation in the promotion.
- The size of the discount depends on the quantity and cost of equipment delivered. The maximum bonus for the “Tell in your old equipment - get a discount on new” promotion varies from 1 to 20% of the cost of the selected product. The more expensive the household appliances that the buyer trades in, the higher the discount.
Reference! In 2018, M.Video did not hold a promotion with similar conditions, but the company’s management is considering the option of using a similar marketing ploy in 2019.
Disposal
2018 in Russia was declared the year of ecology. In this regard, everyone tried to contribute to the protection of the fumigation environment and nature. The largest Russian retailer was no exception, announcing the start of the “Recycling” campaign. The main conditions of this marketing company are:
- Possibility of removal of old equipment. Many Russians have faced the problem of disposing of household appliances. Many of them cannot simply be thrown into the trash due to their large dimensions or for other reasons (for example, they contain mercury or other dangerous chemical elements). In addition, the issue of removing large and heavy items from the house is acute. M.Video solves this problem: when you order a promotional product, movers bring it, bring it into the buyer’s house, and take out old unnecessary devices and take them to organized disposal sites.
- Disposal is carried out at the personal request of the buyer. If, when placing an order, the client forgets to mention that he needs his household appliance removed, the movers will not be able to pick up the equipment. The fact is that M.Video entered into a disposal agreement with a specialized company. And each piece of equipment is destroyed with a special document (issued based on the buyer’s request).
- The recycling service is paid. In order for someone to take away old household appliances, you need to pay. The cost of the service is 1990 rubles in Moscow and the Moscow region. 990 rub. – in other localities of the Russian Federation.
Benefits for customers and store
It is not difficult to understand what benefits a buyer who becomes a participant in the program will receive. There are several options:
- Significant discount on selected product upon purchase.
- Free removal and removal of old appliances from your apartment or dacha.
- There is no need to resolve the issue of recycling household devices.
Important! It is necessary to clarify the possible range of delivery of new and removal of construction equipment in a specific shopping center of the network. Most often, you can even get rid of appliances at dachas located no further than 30 km from a populated area.
The benefits that a retailer receives from holding such promotions are not so obvious, but they are more significant in financial terms:
- Attracting a large number of customers who will definitely make purchases. It is important to understand that it is difficult for a buyer who has made a purchasing decision to settle on just one thing. Many citizens, having come only to buy a refrigerator or washing machine, buy a lot of useful, but not very necessary in a particular situation, appliances.
- Making a profit from the recycling company. Every piece of appliance or electronics you sell costs money. It is unknown how much M.Video receives, but for comparison, 1 kg of tin from which the refrigerator is made (weight up to 70 kg) costs about 8-10 rubles. In addition, many devices contain valuable metals, so the company's revenue far exceeds the 20% discount that is given to the client when participating in the program.
What's the catch?
Replacing old equipment with new ones at M.Video is an excellent opportunity to save on expensive purchases. But why do many buyers consider such promotions a scam and leave negative reviews after participating in the program? As always, the point is the lack of awareness of all participants in the action:
- Buyers do not always fully understand and accept the terms of participation in the program. For example, for many, the need to pay for recycling services causes a flurry of negative emotions.
- Not all assortment items located on the sales floor and placed in the online store catalog participate in the promotion.
- Goods handed over by visitors are not exchanged for similar ones. If a buyer wants to return an old phone to M.Video, he can do so. But don't count on getting a new gadget.
It is impossible to unequivocally answer the question of whether the promotion at M.Video is beneficial for visitors. If a visitor wants to purchase a specific product and it is included in the promotional list, the benefit, taking into account the discount, is obvious. But if for the sake of recycling you need to purchase an unnecessary item, then perhaps you should think about the advisability of participating in this program.
Supermarkets of digital and household appliances, and some retail stores, periodically hold promotions, the essence of which is to exchange old equipment for new ones. Of course, the buyer receives a discount, and not a completely new device, but the discounts are quite significant; in addition to the discount, the buyer gets the opportunity to get rid of unnecessary, non-working junk that has been stored for years in the attic or basement. No one hides the fact that companies also receive a certain benefit for the provided scrap, but this benefit goes to zero in order to maintain the lowest prices on the market.
Where are old household appliances accepted?
El Dorado
El Dorado. One of the largest chains of electronics supermarkets in Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan, therefore discounts depend not on the amount of the future purchase, but on the category of the product. The promotion is held 1-2 times a year and has various names: “Change old for new”, “Recycling”, “Total recycling”, etc. During the event, you can change almost any equipment, and the size of the discounts ranges from 1 to 20 percent. Eldorado accepts:
- large household appliances (refrigerator, boiler, air conditioner, gas stove, extractor hood, etc.);
- small household appliances (meat grinder, vacuum cleaner, multicooker, juicer, air fryer);
- digital equipment (mobile phone, smartphone, tablet, camera);
- audio and video equipment (players, home theater, TV, soundbar).
All equipment can have various states of breakdowns and damage, that is, you can get a discount for a piece of a compressor from a refrigerator, or exchange a manual meat grinder for a modern vacuum cleaner. By the way, one more advantage is categorical replacement- this means that a person who brings any large household appliances can receive a discount on both a washing machine and a boiler or air conditioner. If the buyer arranges for the delivery of new equipment, the old equipment is removed.
Eldorado stores do not accept consumables and accessories.
DNS
Supermarket of digital equipment "DNS". Unlike Eldorado works only with digital equipment, but you can only carry out an equivalent exchange: tablet - for tablet, camera - for camera. Accepts this technique: 
- TVs;
- smartphones and mobile phones;
- tablets;
- laptops and netbooks;
- desktop PCs.
The buyer receives a discount of 10% of the amount of the purchased product. Discounts are not cumulative, and the maximum bonus is 10,000 rubles, subject to the purchase of goods worth 100 thousand. The company only accepts the basic set of equipment, that is, bringing a motherboard or a system unit box will not work.

Technosila
The Tekhnosila chain of stores also holds similar promotions. The products participating in the promotion are also divided into categories, but this still provides more choice. When handing over old equipment, the buyer receives a discount, which depends on the amount of goods purchased. The minimum discount is 5%, the maximum is -20%. Large household, digital, audio, video and small household appliances are accepted. When you arrange delivery of new equipment, the old one is removed free of charge.
The advantage of holding such events is the further removal and processing of materials from which the equipment is made. Instead of throwing it into a landfill, a person (buyer) gains material benefits and the opportunity to get rid of those devices that cannot be sold for spare parts to service centers or consumables.
The correct one is the preservation and maintenance of the ecological state at an acceptable level, this is an opportunity to get rid of excess harmful substances in the air, soil and water. Due to the small number of recycling centers and limited capabilities for handing over equipment, companies like Tekhnosila, Eldorado and DNS take on the role of an intermediary between the buyer and the recycling center. In addition to preserving nature, used materials significantly reduce the cost of producing new products. Plastic and , will be used to create housings and wiring of the device, old circuits will be melted down into new ones, and everything else that cannot be recycled will be properly destroyed.
One day there comes a time when household appliances, a computer or a TV become obsolete or become unusable. Sometimes you just want to buy something new, but not everyone has the time or desire to sell through message boards. Simply throwing the product in working condition into a container is not the best solution. The best option is to exchange old equipment for new ones as part of a recycling program.
Exchange Features
You can return your old equipment and get a new one at a discount at one of the large retail chains. Examples of such stores are CSN, Tekhnosila, Eldorado. Some retail outlets regularly hold such promotions, while others exchange products in this way all year round. Conditions vary in detail. In general, the replacement of old equipment with new one is carried out according to the same scheme:
- the citizen brings or brings his own equipment;
- store employees assess its condition;
- Based on the results of the inspection of the product, the buyer receives the right to purchase the product at a discount.
Before deciding where to hand over your equipment, it’s worth finding out in more detail how the promotion works, what the discount rates are, and what products qualify for the conditions. Perhaps one of the companies offers better conditions or accepts something that other places will not accept. If a product is not eligible for the exchange program at one store, you can contact another. As a rule, you can quickly find a place where you can sell old equipment in exchange for new ones. Typically the list of product types includes the following:
Citizens are accustomed to looking for a catch in everything, but it’s not here, so you can safely devote the whole day to a home audit. After reviewing everything you have at home, it’s worth selecting equipment that will soon expire or that you no longer like.
Then you need to call or go around several companies offering to exchange outdated models for new ones, and find out who has the best conditions. After this, all that remains is to conclude an agreement and wait for the company’s employees, who will come and pick up everything that is prepared for exchange.
Benefit of the parties
Retail chains, when developing and conducting promotions to exchange old for new, understand that this is beneficial for them, but not in the short term, but in the long term. In the eyes of the consumer, a company that cares about the environment takes on greater responsibility.
Getting rid of old electrical appliances is not so easy, because they need to be taken to specially designated places and disposed of separately from other waste.
Citizens do not have the right to store equipment in regular garbage containers. There is a fine for this. To dispose of a non-functional or obsolete electrical appliance, such as a computer or refrigerator, permits and licenses issued by authorized bodies are required.
But a company that deals with such a complex business does not make a profit. Essentially, she is volunteering. But still there are benefits not only for citizens. For a retail chain, it consists of creating an image. People are more willing to buy from someone who demonstrates a social orientation of the business and shows concern for the environment. Another benefit is that the doubtful buyer comes to this network, and not to competitors. As a result, goods are sold out faster, turnover is higher and, accordingly, profits are higher.
It is also beneficial for the buyer of equipment to participate in such promotions. Electrical appliances, the condition of which is sometimes close to scrap metal, need to be disposed of. The average person doesn’t know how to do this correctly, and even if he knew, he wouldn’t want to waste his money and personal time. When agreeing to exchange a non-working product for a new one, a citizen often does this for the sake of money, but there are other factors. Non-property benefit:
- no need to waste time on approval;
- there is no need to hire transport and movers - the receiving company sends its employees.
When the removal procedure is completed, the owner of the equipment usually comes to the conclusion that he will take part in similar actions more than once in the future.
Procedure
You can exchange your old electrical appliance for a new one at any convenient time, including on the day of application. The client agrees with the company representative about the time when it is convenient for him to remove the equipment. If the product is large, equipment arrives at the specified address, along with loaders and dismantling specialists who have the necessary equipment with them.
First, craftsmen dismantle the product. If it is in working condition, the performance is tested and an assessment is made. Then the craftsmen carefully lower the product to the lower floor, load it and take it away.
After concluding an exchange agreement, both parties undertake to comply with its terms. So, if the buyer wants to take the old product back, he will not be able to do this, so it is worth thinking about everything in advance. If the buyer has already purchased a product at a discount as part of the promotion, but is in no hurry to give away the old model, the terms of purchase and sale are considered unfulfilled. In this case, the client returns the purchased product, and it must be in proper condition, and the company returns the money actually paid.
The decision to replace must be balanced and made in a calm state. Minors and incompetent persons are not allowed to participate in such events. In case of doubt about the adequacy of the client, employees of the retail chain may ask to present an identification document.
