  all electronics manufacturers and retailers in europe have to take back electronic goods for recyling. Normally it is when you buy something they take the old product off your hands

  but I know that some places (currys etc) just take the product and don't ask for the receipt - this is probably because they all have recycling targets to meet

  now there are massive problems with the recycling infrastructure with our e waste being dumped in africa and china and it isn't all going that way and lots is being treated properly

  I find it interesting that when you have any electronic device in use it's just a product but as soon as you want to get rid of it it is classified as hazardous waste...
