| What's the situation with E-Waste in your country? Can you 'pick up for repair'? |

In the area I'm in, you pretty much have to find out word-of-mouth that someone wants to dispose of something and intercept it. Otherwise it gets dropped off at an ewaste collection day event and put into a truck to be sent somewhere. The people who run that automatically assume you're looking for old storage devices and data. I've actually found a lot of stuff just thrown into the regular dumpster because people are too lazy to drop things off for ewaste collection. There's also a privately owned scrap yard that takes ewaste and I do think they will resell what they collect by weight. |
