FYI http://www.ashrecyclers.com/ These people claim to be safe and government licensed recyclers of e-waste. They have put a bin in my house. They even pay a nominal amount for waste - but I have never collected any money from them. People are welcome to either contact these chaps directly, or make sure your e-waste reaches me so I can hand it to these people when they come around. They accept used dry cells and fluorescent bulbs too apart from the usual junk. shiv
