Black Friday, Cyber Monday, holiday gifts or the New Year sales mean that you may be lucky enough to be in possession of a shiny new phone, laptop, tablet or a games console.
If, like me, you move directly to the new device and the old one gets discarded to the back of a drawer where old tech resides and gathers dust. I recently undertook the painful task of decluttering, which involved clearing out the collection of old tech and safely disposing of it.
Disposal of old tech requires thought and effort: the need to cleanse the device of any personal data, consider whether to pass it on, is it recyclable, the complexity of disposal is probably a factor in why the devices get put in the drawer and left.
What are the considerations and actions needed to pass on or dispose of devices safely?
