Default Re: A poor old HMV at the Recycling Centre...

Sad to say but I feel G6Tanuki sums it up. I once asked if I could have a radio, but a definite "NO" was given, due to WEEE regulations. I asked if I could just have the pull-off knobs. The reply was that it would be considered "Tampering with the said item under the regulations" and again forbidden.
Like some say, our site does have an "unofficial" stash of items in a corner. I can only imagine it is for perks of the job?
There is always freecycle, of which I am a member. I rarely ask or receive anything, but often put items on there. In fact, our 9 yr old Hotpoint auto washer, fully working, will be going on this weekend.
One result I did get to a request was a fully working Toshiba laptop, fresh install of Win 7 and complete with legal cd.
I think if more people used freecycle, the likes of the OP might just be reduced....a little.
At least with ebay, it doesnt end up at the recycling skip.
