Our rubbish / recyclates collecting lorries have adverts on the side to say that recycling saves the council money and so keeps the council tax down. That's the kind of incentive that might influence people.
True.
Most charity shops have stopped accepting electrical goods but in our area we have an organisation called Restart. It takes electrical goods that are still working, as well as furniture of all kinds. It employs people, many of them with disabilities and / or long-term unemployed, to refurbish the items and they are then sold at reasonable prices in their shop. Win-win all round, I'd say
Brilliant.
