Croatian law, old refrigerators, old television Jiu Jiadian not thrown into the garbage, not to discard, to be sent to special collection point. But residents of the old appliances to the Recycle Bin without any benefits, but also lose time and petrol. Therefore, some residents still in the night to the streets of old appliances. A long time, the street on the corner filled with washing machines, TV sets, refrigerators and other Jiujia Dian.
These Jiu Jiadian the city and also pollute the environment. Such as old refrigerators can leak freon, old computer parts has great acid that will corrode the road.
