Households that recycle at least 2kg of old electronics through KGS’s free TakeBag service can get a tray of six Chew’s kampong eggs from 1 November to 31 December 2026. The e-waste goes into a Pick! locker, and the eggs come back to a Pick! locker once KGS has weighed and verified the bag.
The pilot, called E-Wastes for Eggs, pairs local e-waste recycler KGS with egg producer Chew’s. Each registered email and residential address can claim the eggs up to five times during the campaign, and every claim needs its own bag of at least 2kg.
How the swap works
- Order a free TakeBag from KGS. Each order is capped at two bags.
- Fill it with at least 2kg of accepted household e-waste.
- Scan the QR code on the bag to book a Pick! locker, then drop it off.
- Wait for an SMS from Pick! once the bag passes verification. The eggs go to a designated locker on the same day, and that locker is not always the one used for the drop-off.
Eggs left in the locker after the collection period stated in the SMS are forfeited, with no redelivery.
What counts towards the 2kg
The 2kg is the net weight KGS records after inspection. The bag, packaging and anything outside the accepted list do not count, so KGS advises packing a margin above 2kg. A bag with general waste, food or liquids inside is disqualified outright.
Small household electronics make up most of the weight. On KGS’s accepted-items guide, phones, tablets and laptops that fit the bag are in, along with chargers, cables, power banks, earphones, keyboards, mice, webcams, hair dryers, electric irons, electric toothbrushes and electric kettles. Rice cookers, air fryers, toasters and electric fans are borderline, depending on size and locker fit. Desktop computers, vacuum cleaners and bread makers are out.
Swollen, leaking or bloated batteries must stay out of the bag. Other batteries stay inside their devices, and loose AA, AAA or coin cells go into a small sealed bag first.
Wipe phones and laptops before they go in
Every data-bearing device collected through TakeBag goes through data destruction at KGS’s Tuas facility. KGS still asks households to back up photos and files, sign out of accounts, run a factory reset and remove SIM and memory cards. iPhone owners should turn off Find My iPhone first, and Android users should remove their Google account before the reset.
Households that want a Certificate of Destruction for an old phone or laptop have a separate route in ALBA’s Secure-Recycle service, which also runs through Pick! lockers.
Eggs go while stocks last
Rewards are first come, first served. A drop-off alone does not guarantee eggs, because KGS has to receive the bag, confirm the weight and match it against the campaign terms. If the egg allocation runs out before 31 December, KGS can end the campaign early and will post the notice on its Instagram account, @kgs.singapore. TakeBags ordered after the campaign period do not qualify.
