Frome Town Council are hosting a tech amnesty with Somerset CIC Donate IT at Frome Town Hall. Donate IT collect, refurbish and redistribute phones, laptops, tablets and other digital devices to people who need them. Anyone with devices to donate can bring them to the drop-off point in the town hall car park to hand to Donate IT volunteers.
Devices will be wiped of data, restored and distributed to people who need them, with any non-usable items disposed of responsibly. 70% of global toxic waste is linked to discarded tech in landfill, and the precious metals inside devices, such as copper and cobalt, are much more intensive and difficult to mine than they are to recycle.
