Electronic recycling


Recommended Posts

Hi,


Anyone know what I could do with some (really) old electronics? I have quite a bit and have no car, so the Southwark recycling depot isn't an option. The WEEE at Sainsburys is only there on the first Wednesday of every month and only during office hours, so again not an option.


Thank you!

Sarah

I have been looking for a WEEE recycling facility and, logically, thought about the the Southwark web site.


I initially tried the map of recycling facilities.

http://www.southwark.gov.uk/bins-and-recycling/recycling/recycling-centres/map-of-recycling-facilities


This page is unbelievably bad, error box on first access, no key to symbols, when clicking on the site symbol (presumably should be a description of facilities available) brings up an empty box. Possibly it was designed and built by a 16 year old on work experience but even so is still useless. If it was actually built by someone who was paid for the job they and their managers should be sacked!


Anyway, I managed to find a different map which shows only 2 places for WEEE recycling, both right in North

If the council is serious about helping people responsibly recycle electronic goods there should be more WEEE facilities in the south of the borough and they should make it easier to find them. If not, people will just throw old electrical stuff in the general rubbish bin or just dump on the side of the road.

    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
