I’ve been accumulating old electronics for about a decade now and I really need to safely dispose of them at this point. I know some cities have drop off spots for recycling, but the one near me charges a fee and appears to cater to business clients. Obviously I’m against tossing them in the bin. It’s small things, like an old iPod touch, Bluetooth speaker etc. What do you all do with your old Ewaste?
Edit: Whew. I’m tired after a long day of…you guessed it…work. Great suggestions in this thread. Thanks y’all!
Here in France, most of the hardware stores have bins to drop old/defected/unused elecronics and batteries (and if bins are not available to the customers, simply ask the main helpdesk usualy they will take your old stuff). I imagine there is some kind of repurposing/recycling organization (usually it’s the store itself to earn a bit of material sell, and for the rest, some non profit org. based sorting and recycling centers)
