What Happens to Old Stairlifts? A Guide to Stairlift Recycling in the UK
Stairlift recycling – are stairlifts recycled? If you’re upgrading, moving house, or no longer need your stairlift, you might be wondering: what happens to stairlifts when they’re removed?
The answer is yes—and at UK Stairlifts, we’ve been helping customers responsibly remove, recycle, and repurpose stairlifts for over 20 years. Whether it’s a straight or curved model, reconditioned or custom-made, we’ll walk you through what’s possible—and how to ensure your stairlift doesn’t go to waste.
Why Consider Stairlift Recycling?
Stairlifts are made from high-quality metals, electrical components, and mechanical parts—most of which can be reused or recycled. With sustainability becoming increasingly important, stairlift recycling offers a responsible way to dispose of a lift that’s no longer in use.
It’s not just about scrapping it—many stairlifts can be refurbished and reused by someone else in need. In other words: your old stairlift could give someone else a new lease on life.
