Forums > Living in Kunming > recycling electronics

There is a service called "Banana Peel" www.xiangjiaopi.com/ serving Beijing and some other larger cities that claims to have more environmentally responsible channels...but who knows. And anyway it's not available in Kunming.

It's also a problem with recycling in other places, too. In the US if the commodity price for some type of plastic or whatever drops too low, it just starts getting landfilled with the rest of the garbage.

Anyway, I will probably still try to put something together that inserts these items a little further up the chain than the "leave it next to the bins in the xiaoqu and hope somebody collects it" approach (which, by the way, I think is definitely better than mixing it in with the rest of the garbage). I figure it's worthwhile even if means that only a fractionally higher volume gets repurposed or recycled.

Thought I'd try this one more time. I'd like to organize a community drop-off point where people can bring stuff like this and I can ship it to a proper recycling facility. But so far I have not been able to track down a reputable company. Any ideas would be great appreciated.

I had a really good burger here recently. Steven, the chef, really knows what he is doing. Worth checking out. Of course, good beer, too.

Cantina is always a safe bet for top-notch food and great service. I think it has actually gotten better and better over the years, which is often not the case with restaurants. Most people who live in Kunming know Cantina. Perhaps not as many know how involved the owners, Libby and Diego, are in various social welfare and community service efforts. Highly recommended both for visitors and long-term residents!

I went there twice for group boxing classes. I left the third time when I was attempting to book into a grappling class. This was part of an attempted process on my part to try the different classes offered there and see if I wanted to purchase one of their various membership cards.

The boxing classes were fun, a great workout, and the coaches and fellow students were all nice. A good atmosphere. Certainly room for improvement, especially in terms of explaining the class structure and fundamental concepts of the sports to beginners...but overall good.

However, on front desk staff member erased the positive aspects of the gym through his unprofessional and rude conduct. I was treated like some sort of con-man for wanting to try out the different classes offered before committing to multi-thousand RMB membership card, despite my willingness to pay per class to try them out. I wasted my time riding over to the gym on a very cold day on my scooter and then being refused service unless I committed on the spot to buying a membership card in direct contradiction to the gym's own policies and written price table. Also wasted was my friend's time and money, as she was in a cab on the way over to the gym in order to join me for the group class at the time I was refused service. My exchange with the staff (in which I was not terribly satisfied, but remained calm and reasonable throughout) was topped off with a remark from the one particular staff member with xenophobic undertones.

As one may see from my other reviews on this site, I typically try not to say anything unless I have something nice to say. In this case, I feel I must make an exception: I don't think it's a business that deserves your effort or money.

One of the best western restaurants in Yunnan. Definitely worth visiting if you will be passing through Shangrila!
