To celebrate Global Recycling Day on the 18th of March, Washmen customers can do their part simply by placing an order on the Washmen app. Apart from taking dirty laundry off their hands without hassle, Washmen also collects all paper and plastic waste set aside by customers when picking up an order. Not only will Washmen be collecting your recyclables, they will be doing so completely free of charge.
Washmen’s recycling program is a proactive effort from the company to achieve a net zero balance on plastic consumption, where they are dedicated to recycling not only the plastic they use, but any other paper and plastic that commonly accumulates in our homes.
“We know the laundry industry has a plastic problem and we are determined to do whatever we can to help” – Rami Shaar, CEO and Co-founder of Washmen.
The recycling program runs in partnership with Bee’ah, a pioneer in sustainability and waste management in the UAE and continues throughout the year. Washmen is the only service in the UAE that provides an at home pick up service for recycling which sits perfectly with the busy lives of those that reside in the UAE.

- Step 1 Fill all your recyclables in any bag and pop the recycling sticker on it
