Best way to dispose of old dvd player/ shredder & the like ?
Didn't know where to put this, plumped for lifestyle in the end.
We're having a bad week, our old DVD/VHS player has stopped working (doesn't respond to any remote control commands, tried it with 2 different remotes), and then my office shredder has packed up (after about 9 years of hard service). Now I'm planning to cart them off to the tip, but is there a better place? Both have a fair amount of high grade plastic, the DVD player must have a chip or 2, and I guess either could be repairable by someone with the time/skill to devote to it. So, any ideas? |

Unfortunately we live in a thowaway society. Unless it's pretty obvious what has broken, it's just not economical to repair electronic stuff.
Your local household tip is the best place. Ours has a designated container for electronic type things which should mean they get broken down into components for recycling whatever can be reused rather than ending up iin landfill. Indeed i think most electronic manufacturer's are require to contribute to such schemes these days. |

Another vote for the local tip here - they aren't just tips any more, they tend to be 'recycling centres' and yours will almost certainly have a separate place to leave defunct electricals. They will handle onward disposal/recycling for you.
