    Cleaning out the house and ended up with a few old stereo systems and speakers that are no longer used.Where do they need to go to be dumped?
    Is there a fee or the likes?

    You can also go to shops like dunnes,tesco and under the waste management act ( electrical ) you can leave it with them i think but you must have the receipt and have bought it there?

    Well... not fully the story.....
    Distributors, ie. Retailers, when supplying a new product, must accept back waste electrical and electronic equipment from private households free of charge on a one-to-one basis as long as the waste electrical and electronic equipment is of equivalent type or has fulfilled the same function as the supplied equipment, other than contaminated waste electrical and electronic equipment that presents a health and safety risk unless such contamination is on account of a distributor's liability.
    In other words you have to buy a product, then you can hand them the old product back.
