...... & WEEE Ireland



In here, innit.....

Let’s face it — old guitar pedals, busted amps, and ancient keyboards don’t belong in the attic, and definitely not in the bin. That’s why Musicmaker Dublin is proud to offer free electrical recycling through our official membership with WEEE Ireland.

Whether you're upgrading your home setup, replacing worn-out gear, or just finally letting go of that broken tuner you’ve had since the Leaving Cert, we’ll help you recycle it responsibly — at no extra cost.


Why Recycling Your Gear Matters

Electronic instruments and equipment often contain valuable materials like copper, aluminium, and rare metals — as well as harmful substances that shouldn’t end up in landfills.

By recycling your old gear:

  • You help recover reusable materials
  • You prevent toxic waste from entering Irish soil and waterways
  • You contribute to a circular economy — reducing unnecessary manufacturing and waste




What You Can Recycle with Musicmaker

When you buy a new electrical or electronic musical item from us — think amplifiers, keyboards, effects units, electric drum kits, tuners, and more — you’re entitled to recycle a similar product for free.

We accept items both in-store and via the nationwide WEEE Ireland recycling network.


How to Recycle Your Old Gear (It’s Super Easy)

When you purchase a new item from Musicmaker (online or in-store):

  • Bring your old, like-for-like item to our store at 29 Exchequer Street, Dublin 2 — we’ll take it off your hands with a smile.
  • Drop it off at any of WEEE Ireland’s 800+ free recycling points, including civic amenity sites, electrical retailers, and WEEE Ireland collection events.

Find your nearest WEEE Ireland recycling point here.

We don’t cover return shipping, but with this many free options, there’s always one nearby!




Together, Let’s Keep Ireland Green

As Ireland’s finest and longest-running independent music shop, we believe in protecting the environment we all share. Whether you're a student, touring musician, producer, or total beginner — recycling your old gear is one of the easiest ways to make a real difference.

So next time you’re shopping for a new pedal, synth, interface, or anything with a plug — bring the old one in, and we’ll handle the rest.


Play Loud. Recycle Right. Shop Smart.
