How can I recycle an old camera?

Question

I have an old broken Minolta camera and don't want to just throw it away because of the metals & batteries, and I just read an alarming article about the enormous amount of electronic waste we produce each year. I went to the EPA website but all I could really find was recycling for old computers, tv's, etc. Does anyone have information for recycling other electronics, such as cameras?

Answer 1

Take the camera into any Currys or Currys.Digital branch and they will recycle it. This is a free service that Currys offers for all electrical goods irrespective of whether the item was originally bought from Currys.

Answer 2

You could give it to someone to use for parts.  Maybe even a camera shop.  That way you are not throwing it away, and someone might be able to use it to fix another camera.
