Disposing of electrical items
Can anyone advise me of how one is supposed to dispose of large items and electrical goods. In England it's just a case of going to the re-cycling centre. Is there an equivilent in Spain. I want to get rid of an old telly (brought over from UK, so no re-sale value).

round here the simplest way is to just put the item next to the rubbish bins, within a couple of hours it will have disappeared.

Re: Disposing of electrical items
To be honest that is what I've always done up to now. But I was wondering if there is correct ecologically minded means of disposing such items as television or fridge etc.

In our area if you phone the council they will pick them up free.

Re: Disposing of electrical items
If you have a vehicle you can always take them to your local tip (Area Reciclaje). I know that ours has a specific bin for these sorts of things to be ecologically disposed of.

Re: Disposing of electrical items
You have to ask to the Punto Limpo. This is what is the British know as a recycling centre.
