How to dispose of an old phone

From Labour Day, 9:50 am on 25 October 2021

Planned obsolesence isn't a new concept - most of us probably get a new phone every year or two, without necessarily thinking about the impact on the environment, or how we might've prolonged the object's life.

Joe Canham is a video editor who has his own company, Champion Film, and knows a thing or two about tech. 

He's created a web page where you can see all the places electronic waste can be taken. 

He speaks to Colin Peacock about planned obsolescence, and what to do if during your spring clean, you find old, unused technology.
