If I hand in electronic waste (laptop, CD player) at the recycling center and they ask for money for it - is that justified?

Or should I go to another recycling center?

But you won't get anything for that

I wouldn't ask about that. It also costs money to feed it back into the cycle. Do something for the environment.

I just ask myself whether I should just look for another recycling center or whether they are all cashing in now.

Re

When it comes to the environment, I'm entirely with you. I just don't like feeding business people through. I absolutely want to avoid that.

It goes without saying that I hand it in properly.

In general, you don't get any money at the recycling center for electronic waste, because they want to earn something from it.

If the devices are still working and not damaged, you can try for example. Ebay for sale

It's all about whether it's free. But I now know one where this is definitely free.

Oh, sorry I misunderstood the question, with most of them you can hand it in for free, you usually only pay for car tires, garden waste, etc.

Call… Then you know! The regulations are made by the municipal, private disposal companies!
