If you have old phones, tablets, iPods, or digital cameras that you don't want to end up as e-waste in a landfill, consider donating them to Medic.
You can print a free shipping label from their website and ship your gadgets to be recycled. The proceeds go toward helping Medic fulfill its mission to develop open source software that supports healthcare workers across Africa and Asia.
