So last year I had a lot of old electronics, I spesifically looked for a recycler, not a landfill.
I spesifically asked if they can recycle the old motherboard before handing it over. If they said no, I would go to someone else. I was prepared to pay a reasonable fee.
Maybe there is someone in Uk that does actually recycle 95% of the motherboard and charges £2 for their service, but they can't get any business because of all the fraudsters that pretend to recycle for free and actually don't
There is no way to distinguish between the 0.001% recycler and 100% recycler.
