What do you do with your e-waste?

[RonSwanson]

If I remember right Makro had some bins where you can drop stuff off at.

My local shopping centre has a large skip specifically for e-waste

They used to but I don't recall seeing one at ours for a while now.

Yep Centurion's is no longer there

Here there is no such thing as a waste bin for TVs etc. That idea is still to arrive here. So everything goes to the tips.

 

[Rickster]

I let it accumulate as I don't know where to take it

This is true.

Actually come to think of it our local pikitup depot has a section for e-waste and oil.

Depends on the ewaste. Have you seen how much some of the old stuff is selling for on eBay!

Starts with the firearm range on the farm, then into the rubbish pit.

Volatile elements are released into the air and eventually settle back to earth. The remnants in the pit slowly leach into the ground water. Everything is returned to nature. Organic recycling I call it.

From a cursory look at gumtree and fb marketplace one mans rubbish is another mans rubbish.

That said, I would gladly have taken one of those CRT's posted up above for retro gaming.

What do you do with your electronic waste (e-waste)? Do you put it out on the street and wait for someone to remove it? Or do you take it to a designated site? Or do you have someone collect it?

Let it accumulate until I have a load, then drop it off for some cash on way to somewhere.

 

[Wary GOM]

Take to a depot at a local shopping centre when I get around to it. Until that time, it accumulates, first in the office then the basement and when I can't get to the tools I need to the waste depot.

 

[Jase]

Accumulate and then give away (Last round someone here on MyBB picked up a batch)

 

[noxibox]

Usually strip out what I can use, then take it to a place that handles recycling it. But the latter became a bit difficult in the last year. So for now I strip it, and store in the hope of disposing of the remainder properly later.

I take my old TV's and electronic junk to Harris's e-waste facility in Montague Gardens here in CPT. You just dump the stuff and they sort it out.

Might have a little too much for the bin? (The wife has me clearing out the garage today )

Joh, you are a hoarder of note....

 

[longboy]

I usually throw them all in the variable furnace piece by peice and siphon off whatever gold/copper/metal comes out.

 

[Smugs]

Take it apart to see how it works.... Just be careful dismantling a digital camera with a built in flash...

 

[RyanPCMR]

I do other with my e-waste. Always do other with my e-waste.

Wait I thought everyone just eats it? You know...grind it up and sprinkle it on your cereal

Do you also substitute your milk for aqua regia?
