I've just found some old spools of ABS and PLA all 3mm, some unopened.


Is there anywhere to usefully dispose of them?


Thanks,


Will.

Hi Will,

We have been looking for somewhere that will recycle the PLA, but long story short is no one will take it for free. I think some will take the unused stuff if you send it to them.

The unopened stuff could well be usable thought. If I still have the lab with the Ultimakers then I would have grabbed it for Sunderland. Unfortunately after more redundancies I do not know who has the printers now. Sorry.

All the best,

  Alistair

My dad would take the unopened 3mm PLA for a school's Ultimakers.
Pretty sure they don't use ABS, but if they do they would probably take that too.
