How do you dispose of old PCs and home appliances accumulated in the closet?

　Many of the readers of this magazine may know, but the popular "PC Ri Cycle Law", which was revised in October 2003, was obliged to collect and recycle home PCs.As a result, the PC could not be disposed of as oversized garbage or non -combustible garbage, and it was necessary to dispose of it in a way that can be properly recycled.The PC here refers to desktop PCs, notebook PCs, displays, and display -integrated PCs.

　The PC released after October 2003 has a "PC recycling mark", and if this PC recycled mark is posted, users will cost extra costs for recovery and recycling when no longer needs. There is no need to pay (the price of the PC purchase includes a recycling fee), and by contacting the PC manufacturer to perform the necessary procedures, it can be discarded for free, but the PC recycling mark is not affixed. In the case of an old PC or display, the user will bear the collection and recycling costs. The amount is 3,240 yen per unit for notebook PCs, desktop PCs, LCD -integrated PCs, LCD displays, and 4,320 yen per unit for CRT display -integrated PCs and CRT displays. If you try to dispose of old PCs and displays at once, such as moving or cleaning, it will be quite burdensome.

　In addition, even if the PC recycled mark is posted, if you dispose of it via a PC manufacturer, contact the manufacturer over the website or telephone → Cash on delivery and shipping slip will be sent → PC using the shipping slip.It is necessary to send to the manufacturer, and it takes time and effort.
