Just a reminder that I run a wiki called Pass It On about where to send things at the end of their useful (to you) life.

passiton.miraheze.org/wiki/Mai

It's really just focused on the UK at the moment - don't know if that will change in future.

@griffinkate did you mention you knew of somewhere you can send old but still working, mobile phones? I couldn't see it on the wiki but I recall some convo about it.

@GwenfarsGarden Yeah, the company is called Envirofone and was recommended by Martin Moneysaver. I haven't added it to the wiki yet because I haven't used them myself yet (and nor has anyone I know).

If you end up using them, please let me know how it goes so I can add it to the wiki!

@griffinkate OK, I'm going to give it a go. I have 2 phones, so I'll see if I can sell one, and donate one to charity, and see how each process goes. Will let you know.

@GwenfarsGarden Thank you! I realise you have limited energy, so no rush reporting back.

@griffinkate @GwenfarsGarden Solidaritech might be worth a try - it's possible they may take older phones. They refurbish old gear and redistribute to refugees and asylum seekers. They seem to take individual donations although I'm not sure how small. solidaritech.com/

solidaritech.comSolidaritechWe repurpose old tech, passing it to asylum seekers and refugees to help them resolve their immigration status, pursue studies and start their new lives

@neil @griffinkate thanks for this. Envirofone did take one of my phones, but not an older one. I'll try Solidaritech out and will report back.

@GwenfarsGarden @neil Thanks very much to both of you.
