need some help about a recycling problem.

[danyboy27]

My buisness regulary throw away vas amount of electronic waste, mainly beccause some copponent like printer and computer screen cost some thing like 10 dollars if we call the recycling company, cost motivated by the fact that the plastic they are made of is fire retardant, and require additional process for recycling.

has a result we regulary throw away many of those thing in the garbadage container.

i looked up and there is no regulation in my province about it, we are one of the only province in canada that can freely drop anything they want in their garbadge container and not being bothered with.

i am just fucking sick of it, sick of throwing away ton of mercury, lead, plastic and other stuff that can be recycled at 80%.
there are also great chances that this stuff end up in mexico.

i have to find a way, its just fucking depressing.

Maybe see if you can get a deal if you send them cartriges and stuff in bulk? Research into environmental programs that cut businesses a deal if they become more environmental or something (theres bound to be something). Look into programs that may offer to recycle these for free. The easiest method of research for all this may just be to call up the Parti Vert du Quebec, and ask them if there are any environmental programs in place that can help you out (The Green Party of Ontario has a database of stuff like this, maybe the Quebec one does too).

the problem is, most of the stuff they decide to throw away are big and idont have the infrastructure to store big quantity.

I wouldn't worry about recycling in a capitalist system. The recycled resources are just going to be used to make more worthless throw away consumer crap. The best thing we could do for the environment would be to get rid of capitalism. I mean, there is literally no way that you can have meaningful conservation within a capitalist system. It's utterly impossible.

Aren't you the least bit concerned about the possibility of damage control? I mean, I'd rather have plastic bags turned into iPods than littering the sea killing wildlife.
