International E-Waste Day 2026: The Small Stuff Adds Up
Headlamps. Bluetooth keyboards. TV remotes. A toy laptop. One box. Small enough to forget about. That's the problem.

Fast tech
This year's International E-Waste Day (October 14) focuses on "Fast Tech | Don't bin it, bring it!": cheap, small electronics that get used briefly and thrown away with general waste.
Globally, only 22.3% of electronic waste was documented as properly collected and recycled in 2022 (Global E-waste Monitor 2024). Small devices are among the easiest to lose: only 12% of small equipment is documented as recycled.
Where should the small stuff go?
We accept small electronics at our US and UK facilities. If you're collecting them in bulk and need somewhere to send them, let's talk.
