Do you spread the word about PC World accepting any old electricals for recycling?

I try and badger my friends about this every now and then. You can take pretty much any old electronics or electricals to PC World for recycling. I think it's something to do with corporate responsibility offsets.

No purchase necessary.

There is no excuse now for ever throwing out old cables or accessories etc in your general waste bin, collect them up and every now and again dump a whole box at the PC world KnowHow counter.

Granted, they might not be able to recycle it either, but at least there's an extra chance given before landfill.

    I bet the "vultures" love the PC World WEEE waste bins.
