RECYCLING OF IT EQUIPMENT

Just got this today. Maybe worthwhile to consider.

RECYCLING OF IT EQUIPMENT





Before you go to dispose anything there might be an even better solution and Freecycle it if you are near a Freecycle community.
E.g. Cape Town

https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/freecyclecapetown/info

I donated my broken/obsolete IT stuff there and the recipients fixed it and made good use of it. Often charitable causes.

Schools could benefit greatly from this - that would really do some good

Obsolete computers can be revived with Linux and make it affordable for somebody who wants to learn more about computing.

Lot's of e-waste has Gold and other precious metals, however the recovery of these is not financially viable for the average Joe-Soap. The specialist recovery companies will keep a lot of the dangerous stuff out of our landfills and they recycle a massive amount of materials, support them where you can.

true

the very sad part is that we guys who collect & sell to recyclers get LESS THAN HALF WHAT GUYS IN THE US & CANADA GET FOR EXACTLY THE SAME STUFF!
im thinking of posting my stuff to the US but postage/shipping costs make it almost unfeasible.

still, somethings better than nothing.

so, please, people of Durbs, PM me if u have any metal & ewaste that u wish to dispose of.
i dont have a permanent job & scrap collecting & the occasional plumbing job keep me going.
