32. Put Broken Items To Good Use

 

Computers

 

Dumped old computers often end up in third world countries, spilling very toxic chemicals into the local environment. Why not make good use of your old computer and donate it to Computer Aid International? They wipe your personal details from the computer and donate it to hospitals, schools and not for profit organisations in developing countries. Visit  www.computeraid.org for more information.

 

Mobile Phones

 

Got an old mobile you no longer use? Try donating it to Oxfam or Children In Need who will often fix broken mobiles and donate them to those in developing countries.

 

Glasses

 

Check out  www.givethegiftofsight.org to donate old glasses you no longer need to people in developing countries.

 

Anything

 

Check out  www.recyclethis.co.uk to find out how you can recycle anything you no longer use.
