Recycling

It really is alarming just how many "professionals" have an unprofessional approach to translation: many thanks to Ian for this gobledegook from  a "compatible" printer cartridge carton:

"DO NOT THROW AWAY YOUR EMPTY CARTRIDGES - Give evidence in a border planned for that purpose".

The original language is French: answer in the coment below (for when you give up trying to work it out: go on, you can do it.....).

  1. Give evidence = déposez
    border = borne (de collecte)
    planned = prévue

    So: "Place in a disposal container provided for the purpose."

    Clear as mud.......
