I've got a couple old phones, I'd like to get rid of. They do work for as far as I can tell, but since most of them don't have any trade in value, I was wondering who / what organization I can donate to that will actually properly take care of it. and try to reduce e-waste. Specifically, I don't how much to trust the random search hits I will get from Google.

 

I'm based in Vancouver, BC.

Ask your local charities, shelters, hospitals. For example, there is this program, but they're based in Toronto: https://www.srchc.ca/news/tag/cell-phone-donation/. I know you said you don't trust random websites, but this one looks legitimate https://www.phoneitforward.ca/home.html

 

Something I've done is just listed on Craigslist/Kijiji for free. I obviously can't verify if the person I gave it to actually needed it, but given my interaction with them, it appeared like it. 

Read before asking for help  |  How to respond to a no POST or no power up situation  |  Don't ask to ask, just ask  |  The XY Problem  | Don't just say "Hello" in chat  |  How do I ask a good question?

If my post helped, please give a 'reaction' using the heart 🤍 in the bottom right. 

Make sure to quote posts or tag the person with @[username] so they know you responded to them!
