damole Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Is there anything do do with broken electronic items other than put them in the bin/garbage? I've taken scrap metal to the place in Nong Hoi near the vechicle tax office but can't remember if I saw electronics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There a guy with a pickup passing through the village every other day, trades eggs (I know...) for electric and IT scraps. Never stopped him. Usually if you put it by the garbage bin, it will magically disappear. For larger stuff, the garbage collection guys are a blessing, they take these and sell on. Refrigerators, washing machines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novacova Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 (edited) There’s a recycling place on the south side of Mahidol just west of the Nong Hoi ramp a couple hundred meters. Edited December 31, 2023 by novacova Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KLL Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 (edited) possibly that one? here? or FB not a garbage place, more a resell ? ________________________ i bring my PET bottles and ALU cans to a recycling place ( and get small money for it ) and today i try to give them also old LED BULBS ( collected in 10 years ), but they refused. when i asked thai friends they speak about special waste collection by the tessaban well i remember that can with old Fluorescent / CFL YES, that is special waste, as there is mercury vapour in ! but LED BULBS contain electronic stuff ( and mostly still working LEDs and possibly broken AC/DC power supplies ) so that should be recycled? just where to bring that?

billd766 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 I live in rural Kamphaeng Phet and I have a similar problem with electronic waste disposal. I have 3 dead printers, 5 or 6 keyboards, some mouses, 2 sets of fan coolers for laptops but no laptop, a dead computer, 2 dead laptops, dead batteries both normal and rechargeable, a perfectly good rechargeable torch but the charger is dead and I can't find another one. There doesn't seem anywhere to dispose of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they don’t take it then nobody will. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
