Before you visit

**Drop-off prep:** sign out of all accounts on devices, run a factory reset, remove SIM cards and SD cards, and pull lithium-ion batteries from laptops and power tools where the design allows. Calling ahead saves a wasted trip - hours and accepted items shift seasonally.

An average smartphone contains around 0.034g of gold, 16g of copper, and 25g of aluminium. Multiplied across the millions of devices retired each year, those grams add up - which is why a working drop-off network matters.
