Some of us have piles of abandoned, unused and old gadgets sitting around, and we don’t know what to do with them. Should we recycle them? Reuse them somehow? Throw them in the trash? What do you do?
We want to know if you recycle your old gadgets in some way or if you simply toss them into the trash. Do you have a particularly creative solution when it comes to those old items? Tell us in the comments.

Friday, September 10, 2010 at 2:24 PMI hang onto them, hoping I’ll someday find a use for them until one day I’m convinced no-one would want it and I’m tidying up then it goes in the rubbish. There is no recycling option around these parts. Unsurprisingly, I’m your goto man for phone chargers, power bricks and cables.

Friday, September 10, 2010 at 10:40 PMI break devices down, salvage usable components, store components and dispose of the rest.
Except this one time when I broke a Microsoft Sidewinder X6 with the detachable numpad, I smashed the numpad in a rage fit later.
Now I have a new one and want to know if I could use two numpads, one on each side.
My biggest regret.
