So sorry I forgot to post them until now

Moto edge 5g UW 2021 (256gb) was reset and I accidentally turned it on while digging

LG v30 (64gb) had stuff on it but no locks so I reset it through settings

Galaxy s4 (white) (16gb) works fine just dead rn

Galaxy s4 (blue) (16gb) works and I reset it

Galaxy s4 (black) (16gb) also works and reset

iPod touch 4 (8gb) works fine. I didn't even know I grabbed it bc it was so small but I was like "I mean hey, it's a free iPod"

All 3 s4s had a 32gb sd card in them

I found this cool iPhone X and it was factory reset and unlocked! Cool find in general

Earlier today, I went back to my local electronics recycling center, where I found two items from the 1960's! One of those things being a working Panasonic TR-238BF from the late 60's with a broken antenna. The second thing I found is a non-working General Electric P-975D portable radio. Also with a broken antenna, this unit was still in somewhat decent condition for being from around the mid-1960's.

I’m testing this as soon as I get home!!

Bought this working a6000 from an Ewaste store in Hyderabad, India

Bought it for ₹600 ($10)

Was it a good deal ? Hehe

Took a different way home today and spotted a PC case sitting on the ground. Took a quick photo, then realized after looking at the picture that there was actually a hard drive inside. Went back to grab the drive, but then thought "wait, what if there's a CPU in there too?" Ended up walking back a second time to drag the whole case home. Cleaned off the crusty thermal paste and turns out it’s an Intel i5-10400. Also got a 2020 Toshiba 2TB hard drive out of it that I still need to test. Motherboard looks like it has damaged PCIe pins, but it’s still crazy what people just throw onto the street.

Hello guyss i am a student interested in pc building and servers , i want to build a server but i dont have the parts , I need some old pc parts to make this server which are i7 3rd gen or i7 2nd gen along with storage and ram , please let me know if anyone is willing to give them for free or very cheap

The motherboard wasn’t worth saving due to damage but I’m happy if any of theas work looks to be in good condition.

found this phone yesterday in a bunch of rubbish dumped by the beach near my house

works fine but camera does not work app just crashes i had a look and the bootloader on the phone is unlocked and looking it up online if you unlock the bootloader on some android phone it kills the camera

i guess this is why they threw it away

anybody know if its possible to get the camera working again?

Huawei Y6 2017 with a spicy pillow, though screen is pretty much mint and found it without a passcode or google lock (already reset)

What are these tiny things on a circuit board or motherboard or ram with a memory chip

Any one know about them?? E waste scrap

Pls tell me. I am really curious

Pretext: one time I was trying to take home a 32” CRT at an ewaste spot that says No Scavenging but I’ve done it 1000s of times anyways and someone was pulling up fortunately they weren’t snitch nor the workers of the site. They were dropping off another 30” CRT tv . They saw em trying to take 1 home on my scooter and they offered to drive it for me. So I accepted

I saw the guy dropping this thing off and maybe could’ve asked if he could take it to my place only barely 2 kilometres away but didn’t. I thought this was kinda cool & could’ve even taken it apart for the little motors and small parts within and see what’s inside; but didn’t. I could’ve carried it on my scooter even or go home and carry it on my dolly towed by my scooter or BMX but also didn’t.

Still I thought it was cool

Years ago I’ve taken apart regular sized printers before & saw all kinds of motors, the higher end or older printers had better or bigger motors in them. Some stepper some regular DC rarely 1+ of both types in one. And other small parts

Has anyone else tried to get ewaste from stores in nyc like Best Buy’s and AT&T and what not. Has anyone else experienced hostility from the employees and everyone. Please let me know your experience if you have tried ewaste in nyc.

Needs an ink refill.

Does anyone know of any regular/rolling e-waste events in the 5 boroughs that allow people to drop off but also pick up?

Went to a ewaste drop off and they let me grab stuff (both work) (oculus quest 1 and Nikon coolpix p900)

Still testing everything. All ik is that the ipod touch is fmi on and the galaxy Luna (third phone) had a pattern but i guessed it

I just checked one out and they only have the standard plastics/trash bins by the door, is there any was of knowing if they’ll have one prior to going to the physical location? Thanks!
