Re: Where to recycle or Dump your ewaste ??

I have about 3 faulty DVD writers, 1 SMPS, 1 Graphics Card. I don't want it to just throw in garbage because it will indirectly cause global warming and other things that would harm our nature. So where to dump them like nokia who takes old phones on their care centers for recycling in a good manner. I want that to happen to these old parts of mine which are garbage to me and consuming my shelf's space for nothing. I Live in Delhi and if I have to go somewhere to dump them n a good manner then I can. Please suggest.

Re: Where to recycle or Dump your ewaste ??

How about getting your ewaste shipped to TechShop.in ??

Moreover they are paying INR 125 Voucher for the same.

I know it will cost you some but not a bang & will keep your environment safe for next generation...

First they are not paying you any money, just coupons to buy stuff from techshop(which is an already overpriced shop), meaning I have to pay from my pocket to ship these, I'd rather keep them in my home(2 odds and a few broken gadgets).

IMHO, Quickr.com is a better place to get rid of the e-waste. The problem with Techshop.in is that it is overpriced and has very limited selectionof items to buy. Plus, it gives only Rs.125 coupon in return for the e-waste.

I contacted a scrap dealer and got Rs.750 for all of my e-waste. Also, they come home and collect it. It is a much better incentive for getting rid of the e-waste.

And you call it recycling?
I seriously doubt, that the person you have sold your scrap, isn't going to make use of those items, in a Eco-friendly way!

well, i don't see recycling or re-using as very different. also, he did show up at my place carrying an armload of very old keyboards that were definitely broken. he took from me items that were broken and unusable, inclusing a very mutilated HDD that looks like this:

but for the sake of argument, what do you consider true recycling?

I will have to agree with you on this.

but for the sake of argument, what do you consider true recycling?


Frankly I don't know, what true recycling is, "maybe extracting every components from it, and using them for different purposes, rather than throwing any component in trash, and all of this process in such a way, that it doesn't harm the environment in any way."

But, the thing is, such kind of recycling can't be done by an individual, who maybe owns a garbage shop at the end of the street, in a residential area. Believe me, I have seen them, and the pictures in magazine like, digit. And a lot of them, didn't looked to extract them in the process described above.

So, I think, a scrap dealer won't be a good choice to dump our e-waste, rather than, we should let some corporations take care of that, even if we get less incentive. For e.g., dumping Nokia's phone in their own centers, where they provide this facility.

I hope I have explained in a better way.

I agree with you on this. I would never give electronic component to a raddi-wala for recycling. That's why I went to Quickr.com. There are listing from people who exclusively deal in electronic/computer components. They, in turn, give it to companies that recycle electronic waste. Raddi-walas are only good for paper, plastic, glass and metal.

How do you know if they(online sites which claim to recycle) really "recycle' the waste? They might sell it to scrap-men and make a profit!

What can I do with e-waste?

Hello
I have dino-crap loads of stuff I dont wanna use. By 'stuff' I mean a drawer full of DVDS, Floppy Disks and CDs , 4 Broken headphones of desi brands which I got free from the dealer every time I got a new PC (Quantum, INTEX, iBal etc.) and 8-9 headsets of old phones I havent even seen in a LONG LOOONG time.
And I mean Nokia 6300 , 6600 , Blackberry OS Series 3 old phones.
Also I have 10+ broken el cheapo earphones.

I read some where about getting super strong magnets from old hard drives on this forum. I dont expect anything of that sort from my e-waste.
So is there any way I can use them for anything? If not, is there any way I can recycle all that stuff? I just dont wanna throw it away. So much plastic would KILL the environment around it. Im Kinda eco-friendly you see.


Also I have an old iPod Touch 2G and it's Logic Board (probably) got fried. Its Touch screen developed deadpixels and When I got it replaced it worked IF I didnt touch the screen too hard and If I did the it showed a bright white screen and eventually it started doing so permanently. I rebooted 5 times. Nothing.
Is there any way I can use that to make something creative too? :p
Thanks in advance!

Nice but they are paying too less and that too in the form of a stupid coupon voucher. To get attention they should extend their services to all over India, and also pay more money compared to local scrap dealer.

^^ ofcourse,
after all nobody gives you money out of their pocket.. :wink:

just figured out..
hindi ki kahavatein hindi mein hi acchi lagti hai.. :D :cool:

Kinda "offtopic" but just wanted to share :

that coupon thingy is just to attract more and more customers to their websites..

some new websites lure customers by "Apple iPhone 5 at 600 INR" adverts
you are like : :hyper:

what you get after clicking the advert is that actually,

1. it is a lottery.. only a few selected ones will get it(often that will not be disclosed.. so you cant tell if anybody has ever got anything :x) and the remaining 'noobs' (read "all") will be gifted "rs 600 vouchers" that can be redeemed only at their #@%#&*#%@# online shops.. :x

2. you need to pay the amount first

and then the actual play begins..
they charge hardcore prices as their delivery charges and often the minimum free delivery limit (the minimum billing amount above which , the items will be delivered free of cost) is much more than the voucher discount..

i saw one of those adverts a few months ago..
didn't know this thing then and believe me.. there was nothing even around double the voucher amount, so you need to pay more money to redeem the amount already paid.

a very very #$%&@#%*#@&# trick to JAM your hard earned money..
