it's nice to see government agencies taking responsibility for the e-waste problems that we are currently facing. To find out how others are helping check out www.pcrecycler.net

It's just a scam tax. There are many high value materials inside a computer case. They should be paying us for taking it!

At present we can either throw it into our bins, which we pay a large amount in local taxes for anyway. Or we can sell them on Ebay!

Tommy, maybe it's Norway that is selling pallets of old pc's on Ebay?

In Norway we pay a fee (ca £10) for every computer we buy. Then all our electrical goods, computers, owens - you name it can be dispatched from any store to recycling. If they sell it, they are obligated to take it back as well. The store also gets money for dropping it off by the recycler. Maybe this is something you could implement in the UK.
