I need to get rid of a few electrical items no longer working. Do places like Power City, DID etc take these or do they only take them when you are purchasing something from them?
Are there waste recycling centres where I can bring these and is there a fee charged?
At Power City I've dropped stuff in without buying anything:
"Customers may leave back old appliances to the store at any time. (No Purchase Necessary)"
It doesn't make sense to me that you can't dispose of an item in the shop it was originally purchased in... you paid the WEEE charge at the time so why do you have to buy another one?
