I’m in the process of setting up an e-waste bin in my community, but it is separate from the general e-trash bin. I want the sign on it to request specific things that can be useful and repurposed without an insane amount of effort.
I’m looking for additional ideas to put on the list. Here’s what I have so far:
-SSDs and HDDs both internal and external
-Laptops, phones, computers
-WIFI cards
-RAM sticks
-Chargers that are still working
LCDs from older devices (DVD players, cheap picture frames, even off-brand tablets, as long as LCD has a ribbon connector) can be salvaged and used with any other device using a ~$15-20 LCD driver.
Some old digital cameras can be used as a webcam via USB.
Very old keyboards might have DIP chips that could be reused (if the rest of the keyboard is damaged and you’re into building your own keyboards that is)
