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!
It really depends on the type of waste and possible usefulness. I generally do a cellphone trade-in when getting a new device. I like to tinker so, for other devices, I will tend to hold onto them to disassemble for future project components. For lithium ion batteries, generally, you need to bring them to a household hazardous waste facility or, some electronics stores, like Best Buy, may offer collection.
