jadee Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Hi, I have a couple of old routers and I know I can just throw them in the trash, but I saw recent articles about Thailand cracking down on e-waste recycling plants so I thought I'd ask on here - where should you properly recycle e-waste in Bangkok? I would sell them but doubt anyone would buy them as they are just old True routers. Thanks if anyone knows, Have a great day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2008bangkok Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Im sure if they take old bicycles in the waste, a couple of routers will be ok 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post johng Posted July 13, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 13, 2018 Just leave them next to (not in) any rubbish bin out on the street...they will "magically" vanish in next to no time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Cheops Posted July 13, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 13, 2018 We always bring all stuff to the Mirror foundation. They will check it and resell it or recycle when it can't be sold. The money goes to charity. You can Google for locations in Bangkok. We also bring things like old school books from our kids etc. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We store everything, plastic, glass, cans, paper, cardboard and defective items. When there is a pick up load my sister in law sorts it out and takes it to the recycling site, usually comes back with several hundred baht. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swings and roundabouts. There are some advantages to living in the sticks but we have to burn the general waste and that is a bit of a chore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
