Solve : Is it illegal to throw away guitar amplifiers?? |
|
Answer» I've got a guitar amp that's old and it weighs 47 pounds. The local electronics RECYCLING center charges 30 cents/pound for anything that is not a CRT monitor or CRT televistion.. Actually, there's a recycling dumpster right next to the trash/garbage dumpster that accepts a variety of stuff including, "small" appliances. But... does it pay you for it?That really DEPENDS on where you live at. Where I live you can throw away 3 televisions and 10 buckets of paint and nobody would notice. Some cities and states have their own local laws that are more strict. Europe has the WEEE Directive but I'm not sure if it's really law for individuals or just manufacturers.

If you put it in there, how is anybody GOING to know it was you? (Especially if you do it at night when nobody is about) Or get a friend or relative to drive you to another one some distance away. BC The amp doesn't work Otherwise I'd keep it. It needs new tone/volume knobs soldered into the internal board. It's not worth fixing to me... If someone else wanted to fix it, I could probably only get like 10 bucks for it... It's not worth it.. Quote from: cruisin702 on January 18, 2010, 12:44:50 AM Europe has the WEEE Directive but I'm not sure if it's really law for individuals or just manufacturers. The WEEE directive imposes the responsibility for the disposal of waste electrical and electronic equipment on the manufacturers of such equipment. They impose a duty of care upon the provider towards the end user, who as a result has a disposal route, but no legal obligations under WEEE. In Britain, if you are an importer, rebrander or manufacturer of new electrical or electronic equipment then it's likely that you'll need to comply with the UK's WEEE Regulations, which in part implement the WEEE Directive. If you do need to comply, then you must register on a producer compliance scheme. You may also have obligations under the WEEE Regulations if you are a business with electrical or electronic equipment to dispose of, or if you sell electrical or electronic equipment. However, most city, town or COUNTY authorities have regulations governing what can be dumped by individuals and where.

Like somehow, the parts for a car can be worth more than the car itself, that may just apply in this situation. At midnight, dump the amplifier on the electronics recycling center's DOORSTEP. Quote from: Carbon Dudeoxide on January 18, 2010, 06:44:49 AM At midnight, dump the amplifier on the electronics recycling center's doorstep. And, to add to the confusion, wrap it in a blanket and put it in a bassinet with a tape recorder playing baby sounds. ........... It ought to be illegal to throw anything away that's loud enough to annoy thy neighbors you can recycle anything with electric parts in it in the recycling centre free of charge , why dump it some where Quote from: harry 48 on January 18, 2010, 11:56:00 AM you can recycle anything with electric parts in it in the recycling centre free of charge , why dump it some where Quote from: EEVIAC on January 18, 2010, 12:25:18 AM It would cost me about 15 bucks to recycle it |
