We all know - at least I hope - that faulty or unused electronic devices can be recycled or, even better, refurbished. Most of us have a place available nearby to deposit them free of charge, e.g. at a shopping mall.
For those of us who have a now useless, old and forgotten cellphone lost at the bottom of a drawer, that would be nice to smartly get rid of it. The numbers from a recent European study by reBuy speak for themselves. They cover European countries data + the U.S. / Canada / New Zealand.

Oooo... we always turn in our old equipment for either refurbishment or recycling. Our Blind Center uses all sorts of gadgets to rework, refurbish, or recycle.
My point exactly Pat. I think there is no need to become a 'recycling fanatic' to understand how easy it is to put our old goods where they belong best.
Recycling is our future. I do it all... even the stinky organics.
