So what is e-waste, anyway? Hint: It's not all those junk emails you've been meaning to clear out. It's old or discarded electronics like computers, TVs, phones, and office equipment. And it does NOT go in your recycling bin! 💻🚫

✅What to do with it: Check with your city or town for electronic recycling collection/drop-off options for e-waste. Or, check Beyond the Bin for outlets near you: https://bit.ly/3QgCX3B

🛠️ First, try repairing them—it might be easier than you think. (Try a search on ifixit.com!)
✅ If that doesn’t work, check with your city/town for a string light recycling program.
