Before you visit

**Quick checklist before you go:** confirm the location's hours by phone, back up and erase any device with storage, separate batteries from devices, and verify whether the site charges for items like CRT monitors or microwaves. Drop-off rules can change without notice.

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.
