Disposing of broken electronics - Laptop - PS3 - Smartphone

Apalaxe · 2017-07-17 08:15:52

I have searched the internet looking for information on how to dispose or give to recycle old broken laptop, broken PS3 and old smartphone and could not find any. Some charities like Jack & Jill no longer recycle phones. Any ideas?

Local electrical shop might take them otherwise your nearest civic recycling centre will.

Anything with a plug or a battery is recycled for free.
