General Equipment Recycle Program
Medical equipment can be costly. Reusing durable medical equipment helps limit some of this cost, improve access and availability to those who need it, and improve quality of life. Follow instructions below to request a “Recycle-Out” of equipment, or to return equipment no longer required.
Step 1
The Therapist submits a generic specification form. If you wish to get or send back used medical equipment, email southrecycle@ecomedical.ca (South of Red Deer) or northrecycle@ecomedical.ca with the following information below. Please do not just ship a piece of equipment back to the Recycle depot without first contacting us. We will assist.

Note: Many pieces of equipment show up with little information or no paperwork about who the previous client is or if it’s for repair or recycling. We strongly recommend only shipping equipment back with the recycle depot’s authorization. Please do not ship back any recycle equipment without prior authorization. If the information still needs to be completed, we may get back to you and request completion, which can delay the process.
For any questions, contact our team.
