My ISP sent me a new (unsolicited) router with a letter telling me not
to put the old one in the bin but to send it 'free of charge' to WEEE
Returns at their address for recycling.   After packaging it up
and taking it to the Post Office I discovered that 'free' meant
that I had to pay five pounds or so for the privilege as it is not a
Freepost service.  So the old router in its box is still sitting in the
corner of the room...
