Can you ask someone to come and pick up about a hundred here in my office? We already pay for the recycling hwne we buy electronic goods, but unless we have about 500kg of them, we would have to take them to the recycling point ourselves (which would only create extra cost).
Sigh. :-(
Same here, I guess.
If you are a business, on a business or industrial park, there is no city garbage collection. You take care of it yourself.
Well, when businesses have enough to recycle, they can call SWICO who will come and pick it up. There is lower weight limit though, AFAIK. (makes sense too).
If you are just a consumer, you can dump just things into the dustbin, but the rules depends on each city. In mine, if it is not bottles, paper, food containers, food garbage, or small batteries, you have to go yourself to the special garbage point, which is on the outskirts, and no bus. You are out of luck if you don't own a car.
In theory, you can dump computers on the shop you bought it from, or about any shop, but I have never seen the containers.
In principle a shop is obliged to take back any eletronic product that is within the range of products they normally sell. They've already been paid for the recycling by way of the recycling fee paid up front. In practice most electronic products are ordered by mail today, which skews the recycling situation quite a bit. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (18.1°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
