I came across a stunning piece of information and on researching about it came across some things that I did not know about and this blog post is an attempt at sharing that information with my readers and to request them to share the information with as many people as they possible can.
I give a link to the Wikipedia on the subject here.
And some iformation about the WEEE man here.
In the latter, please do spend some time exploring the subject and try and get children involved.
Thank you.
Brings it all home. We should take recycling seriously.
I agree and I am doing my wee bit!
The WEEE man is a clever idea. Alarming to think that’s the amount of technology we casually chuck out during our lifetime.

We can all do our wee bits to reduce/recycle!
I have no man and I have no Wii, but I do have an amazing amount of plugs to keep my house going. 🙁

I am sure you do!
In Auckland (not sure about rest of country) there are either places always taking e-waste along with dedicated periods. However, I know I have quite a few cords/plugs stashed away – for reasons I think might help my usual practice of acquiring second-hand equipment…
In the last few weeks, I have been sifting and shifting stuff and I found I have at some point put all these accessories together in dedicated packages…they have now gone downstairs to the room I have for storage of semi-useful/less things!

I have been isolating and getting rid of all kinds of much too. India incidentally has a very vibrant recycling business. Here is a sample of what is achieved http://sustainablebusinessforum.com/sbtoolkit/73201/india-s-dharavi-recycling-slumdog-entrepreneurs
there is one big different that I note here…there are no municipal collections of garbage. We do have such collections, along with a fortnightly collections of tins, similar and much plastic as well as paper…occasionally we get an inorganics collection as well.
