Are your drawers filled with single Bluetooth earbuds, wired earphones with poor connections, or smartwatches with degraded batteries and cracked screens? Many people habitually toss broken 3C accessories into the trash, unaware that this not only harms the environment but could also result in fines.
Anticipating rising consumer demand for wearable device upgrades, Jiesheng Communication has officially launched the 'Old Earphones & Wearable Watches Zero Campaign.' All brands and conditions are accepted for recycling, turning household 'digital clutter' into tangible rewards.
### Throwing Old Wearables in the Trash Could Result in Fines—Up to NT$6,000
With new wireless earbuds and smartwatches constantly hitting the market, many Apple fans and tech enthusiasts are upgrading their gear. However, improper disposal of old devices poses safety risks. Jiesheng Communication warns that wireless Bluetooth earbuds and smartwatches fall under the category of 'waste information equipment' and contain high-density lithium batteries. If mixed with regular trash and compressed in garbage trucks, these batteries can short-circuit and ignite, endangering frontline sanitation workers.
According to the Waste Disposal Act, illegally discarding waste information equipment containing lithium batteries can result in fines ranging from NT$1,200 to NT$6,000. If your device shows signs such as significantly reduced battery life, audio distortion, or physical damage, it should be recycled through proper channels—never thrown away.
