Recycling HomeHub?

[katynewbie]

I recently upgraded our hub from a 2 to a 3. The engineer said he didn't want to take the old one away, said he had loads of them. 'Recycle it' he said. How? Take it to the local tip? Anyone want one? Anyone else had to do it? I don't want to take it and dump it...

Our municipal dump has a special enclosure for electrical and electronic items.  It's not worth a special trip, but if I'm going anyway with garden waste or whatever, I take such things to them.

You seem very happy with your new hub, excuse me being a bit thick but what is a hub I want one : :

I have many hubs, everytime Broadband goes down, ring up, and they send me more hubs, still doesn't work. Still have the headache from the last day, and I mean day, that I was on the phone to India.  Have gone back to BT hub 2, Bt hub 3 nearly got thrown out the window.  So many cables and wires and it is wireless.  Me not understand.  It is working OK at present, so I say leave well alone.

[Edit: I can't get the hang of the new smilies, I just wanted a simple smile.  Anywho, yes, there are a lot of cables aren't there.]

Ok, maybe I will see if anyone wants it on Freecycle, I just hate dumping things!
Claybasket: it's the gizmo that brings the internet into the house, provided by BT, now where is the 'spit' smiley?

I have had a new hub now I have gone supersonic with BT.

Is the old hub something I could sell at my next car boot or is it no use now?
