    I wish I lived somewhere where recycling cans were ever fivr minutes away 🥲 there’s one at my job but it’s always full of food

    I end up keeping my recyclables in my closet for months because the schedule for the town recycling drop-off doesn’t work with my work schedule, so it’s, rare to make a trip down there.

      I have such a huge pile of broken laptops, PCs, and other electronics that need to go to electronics recycling, but the only place that takes that kind of shit limits you to how much you can drop off at one time and it’s so fucking far it genuinely doesn’t make sense for me to be pissing away that much money going every month just to drop off one or two things.

      …and the pile keeps growing.

      There’s basically no real electronics recycling solutions in the USA and it fucking pisses me off.

        I try to upcycle what I can for charity. Might be worth it if you can, if they’re not just completely busted. :)

        God, same. I’ve tried searching how to recycle cords and everyone just says “take them to Best Buy”, which is the first I heard about Best Buy being an actual brick and mortar store. I’ve never seen one.
