Did you know Halfords installs over 1million wiperblades each year? We have designed a recycling process for this process in over 330 locations across England, Scotland and Wales.
Halfords collect wiperblades across 330 stores in England, Scotland and Wales. Our store colleagues pack them in a box to be sent to our headquarters where we collect in large volumes to be collected by our partners European Metal Recycling and MBA Polymers (a plastic recycling company) who use clever sorting technologies to recover most of the material to be recycled into material for remanufacturing.
This includes wiperblades removed from the car during our fitting services, or if customers want to drop off the wipervlades (no purchase necessary); however, we reserve the right to refuse drop-offs if customer has more than 10 wiperblades.
During 2024, we sent 500,000 wiperblades for recycling and as of November 2025 we opened this up for customers to drop off wiperblades free of charge, no purchase necessary (limited to 10 per customer).
Before deciding if your wiperblade needs recycling, please consider if you need to replace your product or if you can clean/maintain it - please read our maintenance page here.
