E-waste ’drawers of doom’ growing, say campaigners (UK) 28/March/2024

Household hoards of unused electricals and broken tech are growing, a recycling campaign group warns. Material Focus estimates we’ve gone from stockpiling an average of 20 items to 30 within four years. Its findings come from market research. The top ten products include remote controls, mobile phones and hairdryers. With the UN reporting that electronic waste is rising five times faster than documented recycling, we’re being urged to clean out our “drawers of doom“. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I thought I was in the minority here, I have even ore than this and its so hard to recycle or get to places to recycle so many things. Let’s hope changes come sooner rather than later.
