    If my electrical goods are genuinely beyond repair they go out to the hard rubbish and strangely disappear before the collection day. Old phones which have a still usable camera get set up with the Alfred app and become a security camera. Any non usable ones go to the box at the front of my local Woolies along with my dead batteries. Some repair places take old laptops etc as part of a trade (like Renewd) and presumably use them for parts.

      That’d be my Opa; he’ll take your broken appliances and electrical goods and repair it in his shed so he can learn how it works. 😂
