I have an old UPS (uninterruptible power supply) unit which no longer works because the lead-acid battery has died. Is there any place or shop on the island that takes dead UPS units, or do I just throw it away with my usual garbage?

“You can bring your old UPS unit to us. We will buy it from you as it has parts that can be recycled. We pay from eight to 10 baht per kilogram, depending on the condition the unit is in.
We will dispose of the parts that cannot be reused and we will sell the parts that can be recycled.
