I’m in the process of setting up an e-waste bin in my community, but it is separate from the general e-trash bin. I want the sign on it to request specific things that can be useful and repurposed without an insane amount of effort.

I’m looking for additional ideas to put on the list. Here’s what I have so far:

-SSDs and HDDs both internal and external

-Laptops, phones, computers

-WIFI cards

-RAM sticks

-Chargers that are still working

    if it’s just a bin, you’re gonna get all kinds of stuff regardless of what the sign on it says.

    and also remember you need a way to send ‘up the chain’ or properly dispose of everything you don’t repurpose, recycle, or use yourself, including all the literal junk and potentially dangerous items like cathode ray tubes, spicy pillows and batteries of all sorts, and vape pens.
