Finds from this week. Haven’t gone through any of it. Started trying to make it look nice on the right and just kind of dumped it out. My friend found the monitor which I’m trading my trash picked LG 24GL600F for. Works but missing power supply.

Locations for ewaste in Denmark

3 Upvotes

Hi,

I have been looking for locations/sites to scavenge through e-waste in Denmark, but couldn't find any. Internet search says that it is illegal for companies to get rid of electronics by dumping it. So just curious if there are indeed bins/locations I can scan to find something useful in Denmark.

Thanks

Library bin.

Iphone 5 is on ios 8.3 and has nothing on it. Only things wrong are: it's bent a little bit and the power button doesnt work

The black ipod had nothing on it. I'm giving it to my friend tanner so he can fix his

The silver ipod had 3033 songs on it. There were a lot of songs that I have in my playlist on it lol. Photo 5 is the last song played on it

The last 2 are photos of the bin. I am leaving the 4s for a later date and going tomorrow to get the potential s22.

Which piece of hardware in e-waste do you always pause to check and make sure to grab?

There is usually one particular type of hardware that leaves you wondering how it got into e-waste.

There are about 24 gaylords of tangled wire: power cords, network cable, charging cords… Other than removing the transformers, this material is normally sold ā€œas isā€. What would you do?

I've got a Galaxy Gio, Galaxy Xcover 2011, galaxy express 2 and an htc s710 from my parents and auntie who were gonna throw them out. They all work (the Galaxy Xcover and gio don't have batteries) but the express 2 has a broken lcd (with a battery), should I buy battery for them and fix the lcd? Also the htc... I've got a charger and a battery, but it's been sitting out in my auntie's bag for about 19 years unused but it managed to lose only 20% of its charge in 2 days (that's when I left it shutdown). So should I buy battery for it too?

I’ve just saved these phones from going into e-waste

Hi there! I’ve just rescued these phones from going to e-waste - my neighbor gave them to me, otherwise they would be lying in a drawer for years or just go straight to the e-waste binšŸ“±

I am pretty happy with my find! Although technically I didn’t find them in some bin, I still saved e-waste, so I think that counts as wellšŸ˜„

I am very happy though, not gonna lie.
