Stripped wire waste disposal

Here are three ways I recommend disposing of stripped wire:
1) Throw the stripped wire in your recycling bin.
2) Turn it into jewelry with an electronics craft project.
3) Give it to family, friends, or charity.



Option 1 is straightforward and safe for people with bare metal allergies who want to avoid touching metal during disposal! As long as our current infrastructure allows these materials to be recycled (which should last until 2050 at least), this is a great way to go green on electrical waste too. Just make sure the device(s) on which you're working has been unplugged from power.

Terrible advice

Wow how did you know my size (kinda creepy)
