What should you do with your old phones, gadgets and other e-waste? 💻📱🎮🎧🖥🖱🔌

The limited lifespan of many tech gadgets combined with few options to fix older devices, have caused the issue of e-waste to surge over the years. United Nation’s data indicates the world generated a staggering 53.6 million metric tons of e-waste in 2019, and only 17.4% of that was recycled. Friday marks International E-Waste Day, an annual opportunity to reflect on the impacts of electronic waste and do more to repair or recycle them.

Find an e-waste disposal service If you live in an area that offers e-waste disposal services , experts say that’s among the easiest and most intuitive ways to clear out old gadgets. Various coalitions have emerged in recent years to give consumers the option to responsibly dispose of devices. The e-Stewards group and Sustainable Electronics Recycling International each offer online tools to find recycling centers that they have certified.
