Does anyone recycle phone chargers?

    I've given a number of phones away to Jack & Jill over the years, both mine and from family members. However, I have a small shopping bag full of chargers that they didn't want. Do you know if anyone does want them or should I simply put them in the black bin?

    You could put them up on the likes on adverts or done deal and give them away. Especially if there are older chargers, you'd be surprised to see some people still use them. The same goes for the micro USB charger, most phones nowadays used this common connection (besides Apple) to reduce waste materials.
    Correct me if I'm wrong, but for the most part, chargers are generally recyable.

    There is always someone looking for what you don't want. My sister-in-law was chucking out a little Nokia charger and sure it works fine with my old E61 that I use as a house phone. So I can leave its charger upstairs for my E72.

    I have most of my old phones AND their chargers plus old family phones SANS chargers. Someone always needs a basic phone to get them through and I'm usually in a position to loan / give them one.

    We waste so much. Definitely stick an ad up on Adverts, buyer must collect etc. They'll fly out.
