Rep Power: 1  |  What do i do with my old UPS? Well i have an old ups lying in my house. Its stopped working for 6 months now. It also gave a loud bang when i tried to charge it by leaving it switched on for a day.  Now i'm in trouble how to dispose off the thing in a safe way. I don't want to throw it out in the garbage because i know it will cause serious harm to the environment. What should i do... does any of u know of some e waste disposal service in delhi? |

Rep Power: 10 | You kidding me? There is no such thing in Delhi ... even if you go and dispose it in a place designated for it it would still be dumped in the garbage mountain near kundli border. I have a UPS as well same thing happened... it had a small blast and I have it aswelll an dont know what to do with it... I normally give stuff like this to the local electric repairs guy who makes use of whatever he can and then sell it to the kabari or something to get recycled. |
