Greater truth
I work with picking up equipment from council recycling sites and taking them to companies for them to be stripped down. Apart from working IT kit, we remove over 300 TVs from 3 sites per week and I was told that although most of them are in perfect working order, no equipment can be given out to the public or other organisations as once they are dumped, they are council property. Think of the people who could benefit from a free 40 inch TV or P3 PC instead of them going to companies who make money from the parts.
I thought recycling was supposed to benefit everyone?
