Title: Electronic Waste - where should we properly dispose them here in the Metro?
Post by: jepbueno on May 19, 2014, 02:00:29 PM

We all know these are bad for the environment and there are some "trash bins" for cellphones, chargers, etc. but for bigger stuff? say an old not working TV, speakers, computers, appliances? Meron ba accessible place para sa collection ng mga ganito sa Pinas? saan?

nakablock sa office namin haha

anyway, the reason I'm asking is ayaw ko lang talaga itapon sa basurahan na isasabay nung truck na dumadaan kapag umaga yung mga electronics hahah. at gusto ko rin malaman kung may ganito ba sa pinas. may napuntahan kasi akong website:

and kanina may nabasa rin akong article ng DENR about proper disposal wag daw magtatapon ng mga sirang appliances at wag ihalo sa garbage, pero wala namang nabanggit kung saan dapat ilagay hahah
