Old Sky hubs disposal?

TUVOK

Having a sort out and I've come across 3 sky hubs which Have been replaced by newer ones by Sky on upgrades etc.

Sky have never asked me to send them back to them, I've had a look on their web site and cannot find anything about old hubs.
So what do I do with them, put in local refuge box for that type of item(with identification labels taken off?) or pay at my own cost to send them back to Sky or sell them as some said on the bay, though I'm not sure about the legality of that.

Any help re this matter much appreciated.

Our local recycle centre has a skip for "small electricals".

Yes, my local council does too, just wondering if I should remove the Sky identification tabs off the hubs first?

Remove them or not, makes no odds to you. Nothing on the old router is tied to you.

Funny. I also have had a mass clear out this past fortnight & while I didn't find 3 sky hubs I did find 1.

I also sorted the problem quickly, easily & more importantly - at no cost to myself. 

I put it in the bin.

Sky do free recycling. It was by Herme/Evri when I did it last month but it seems to be by Royal Mail now.

I did this last week with some old Plusnet routers.

Went on the PN website and downloaded a prepaid label

Went on Royal Mail and even persuaded them to collect from our house, for free!

Job done!

B&Q do small electrical recycling.

If you have a few old routers, you can try converting them into a mesh.

The hubs are in the correct bin for re-cycling collection tomorrow.

Thanks for all replies on this query.

Well they're in the bin so you've sorted it

BUT, as I was walking through town the other day, I noticed next to one clothes/shoes recycling bin, there was an electrical goods recycling bin.

Had never noticed it, but my router had been put in the bin-bin by then.
