About these tools
We build and maintain these tools as part of eCycling Central's editorial mission. The Recycling Locator pulls live OpenStreetMap data. The Device Value Checker compares trade-in offers from the major US/UK programmes. The Scrap Value Calculator uses daily LME spot prices to compute the recoverable material value of common devices. The Live Global E-Waste Counter projects from the UN Global E-Waste Monitor 2024 baseline.
All four tools are free, no sign-up required, no advertising tracking attached to the tool itself. Display ads on the surrounding page are how we fund the site.
Embed any tool on your site
