There are benefits to using your device as long as it still works: 1) your wallet and 2) the environment.
Then please donate it to an organization that will refurbish it, wipe it clean and donate it to somebody in need. This is called circular economy. Tech bros don't want you to do this.

My brother, Sam, and I make a great team. We have almost doubled the number of electronic waste that I collected on my own last year. Only 3 more to go!
Also, we are very close to surpassing the milestone of 350 items collected since the very beginning! We have until August 31st. ♻️💻🍁

It's #GlobalRecyclingDay! Recycling keeps valuable materials in use so we don't have to extract more from our precious environment. While it's important to practice the higher tiers of this list first, it's still important to remember to recycle what you can. 💡
