Broken Printer

I've seen that some charities take unwanted mobile phones, whether they're working or not. I have a broken printer. Will it be of use to any charity, or is it better off in the bin?

    I wouldn't take it to a charity shop as we'd just bin it.
    I haven't heard about any charity taking broken printers but i'll have a look around and chat with some contacts.

    Have you thought of freecycling it?

  • The unwanted phones is part of a recycling scheme that they have joined that is my guess.

    Not heard about broken printers before.

    Your local council should have some kind of recycling scheme for items like that. try ringing them (they should have a general enquiries number).

    All I can think of I'm afraid!

    We accept mobile phones as part of a recycling incentive. Broken printers or broken anything for that matter are a different thing entirely. Straight in the skip unfortunately.
    ;) debt free...yippee :dance:
