ReplyDeleteSafely recycling electronics helps keep hazardous substances from harming people and our plants. It's nice to join activities like this!
ReplyDeleteAny suggestions where to bring regular batteries?
ReplyDeleteThe Best Buy at Atlantic Terminal will accept them.
Deletethx for article!
ReplyDeleteI think that the best solution would be to sell equipment that is still working and in good condition. There is no such thing as "Extra Money". Do I need to bring electronic waste to you for recycling by myself? I mean, I have a lot of old monitors, printers, etc. in my garage, so I'm not sure that I can bring all this on my own. Could you arrange a home pickup like it is done in allgreenrecycling.com ? I would really like to get rid of this stuff as quickly as possible!
ReplyDeleteThank you for such initiatives. I believe that it is the duty of each of us to reduce our waste and recycle it correctly. I use big-ben and feel like I'm contributing to saving the planet!
ReplyDeleteThanks to those who remind in time that all unnecessary and non-working things cannot be simply thrown away. It's good that there are companies like https://www.rubbishwaste.co.uk/ that help to dispose of garbage correctly, without harming the environment.
