Throwing away old laptop
Throwing away old laptop
Hi all. I have an old laptop absolutely spoilt. I have removed the few useful things inside.
Where should I throw it away? I don't want to put it just in the chute bin, but also I dont know about any "clean point" por this kind of stuff.
Thanks for any input: Alberto

There is a shop on the 3rd floor of Penninsula Plaza that deals with used Laptops. They will used it for any remaining parts if you want to recycle it I'm sure that they will take if off you hands.

I've used them several times before keeping my old Inspiron 4000 running. Fan here, keyboard there, HDD whatever....durain wrote:sms, good find.
fwiw, even if you bin it, you are indirectly "recycling" it coz it will end up in a land fill to reclaim land for singapore.![]()
still, it is good to be green.

Hi there,
It is an old post I know, but I thought I'd add another titbit of information.
aidha at the top of Orchard Road have recycling bins for ALL electronic waste. You can check out their website on http://www.aidha.org for directions. They will see if they can re-condition any laptops etc for use by the students or for resale to the students or the waste is collected by a contractor who disposes of it correctly.
Regards
Kim
