Users can keep these devices or return them to recycling centres.

Where do I return assistive devices?

• Equipment can be returned to Vínlandsleið 6-8, 113 Reykjavík.

• The return is automatic and uses the electronic ID of the user or the person submitting on their behalf.

• If you are outside the capital area, you can send the device to Iceland Health with Eimskip Flytandi. You do not pay for shipping.

• Outside the capital area, Eimskip Flytandi also takes care of bringing home larger aids such as beds that do not fit in ordinary cars.

• It is important that your ID number is included with the device itself so that Iceland Health registers the returns correctly.
