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. 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. But after you take that garbage to the special points at your own cost, as soon as the staff goes out for the day, people break en masse or discretely and steal everything that might have some value. There is an economy out there, making money out of our garbage. But they are not prepared to pay for it, not even collecting it. Such is life :-( -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
