Recycling is rubbish

INTERNATIONAL – Recycling is a pretty big thing in our house. We do the usual of splitting out those things which don’t need to go to landfill and composting stuff that’ll help the plants grow. When it comes to electronics though, the concept of recycling is completely alien. My old phone collection is ever-expanding (my kit cupboard is still stuffed with 10-year-old devices). Why? I have no idea. For some reason I just don’t think of phones (or other CE kit) as being something that should, or even could, be recycled.

UGANDA, Africa – Keeping an eye on the environment doesn’t just mean sorting the waste in countries where its produced most. Nokia’s take-back recycling scheme has just expand into Uganda in East Africa, the fifth country in as many months to introduce the scheme in Africa.
