    Old Computer - pick up service

    Anyone know a service/charity that picks up old computers from SK??

    We've been asked this question and we're stumped! It started us thinking that it would be helpful to know:

    1. If there is a charity that takes old computers and possibly refurbishes them for those in need?
    2. Would they pick up (in the wilds of SK)?

    Thanks for your help!

    There is now a mobile collection unit for old electronic equipment. although it seems like they visit each district about once per year!

    For Sai Kung the next visit is scheduled for 14-15 February 2009!

    There are also places you can drop the equipment off and many buildings (including quite a lot in Sai Kung) are signed up to a scheme to organisation collection themselves: https://www.wastereduction.gov.hk/en...tail.htm#where
