Next question: What's the best way to dispose of them? Sticking them in the bin doesn't feel like a very responsible option, but the weekly recycling probably isn't appropriate either.

And unfortunately the bin is the best place as UK recycling is shitty.

You could take it to a council dump, which likely has a recycling area that takes electronics.

But they're annoyingly out of town, with awkward opening hours, and necessitating a car to go there (you really don't want to cycle in, you'll get punctures if you don't get run over by heavy machinery - Tonka trucks!), and finally you need to take council tax documents.

A massive ball-ache to do the right thing... so the bin is fine.

I'll probably have to do a run to Islington recycling centre at some point as well so will hang onto 'em until then.

There are electronics recycling points in Hackney, too.
