Windows & Doors Recycling Scheme
The Sunshine Scrappage Scheme allows you to recycle your old windows and doors, offering average savings of £1,000 to £1,500 on professionally installed replacements. As a UK homeowner, you can take advantage of this immediate support to boost your home’s energy efficiency, reduce your environmental impact, and save money in the process.
Keep More Money in Your Pocket
Inefficient windows and doors can significantly impact your energy bills, with estimates suggesting that households can lose up to 20% of heat through poorly insulated glazing. This wasted energy not only costs you money but also contributes to the UK’s carbon footprint. According to government reports, upgrading from single to double glazing can save up to £120 a year on heating bills for an average detached home.
Two-thirds of UK homes fail to meet energy efficiency targets, with more than 12 million properties rated below a C-grade on energy performance certificates. By replacing your old, inefficient windows and doors, you could save up to £1,500** on your energy bills over the next 10 years. Plus, recycling those products with us directly through our Scrappage Scheme could achieve average savings of £1,000 to £1,500 towards the installation of new, professionally installed, energy-efficient Sunshine windows and doors.

How Our Recycling Scheme Works
Our recycling scheme provides a straightforward way to dispose of old windows and doors responsibly when upgrading your home. Here’s what you can expect.
- Removal and Recycling: When we install your new windows and doors, we handle the removal of the old ones, ensuring they are taken away and recycled properly.
- Responsible Disposal: Materials such as glass, uPVC, wood, and metal are separated and sent to recycling facilities where they are processed and repurposed, preventing them from ending up in landfills.
- Environmentally Friendly Process: By recycling your old windows and doors, you contribute to reducing carbon emissions and conserving natural resources.

Currently, there are no government grants or funded schemes specifically available for purchasing new energy-efficient windows and doors. However, it’s always a good idea to check the UK government’s website or contact your local council for any updates on potential funding opportunities or schemes that may become available in the future.

Private schemes like the Sunshine Scrappage Scheme, while not government-backed, contribute towards the UK’s Net Zero by 2050 ambition by offering homeowners average savings of £1,500 when recycling old windows and doors. These savings come from recycling inefficient products and reinvesting in the sale of new, thermally efficient windows and doors, helping to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions.
