Where to recycle a broken Charge HR?

ANSWERED
Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

My Charge HR strap is broken (2nd one), so now have a Charge 2.  The actual Fitbit works, but can't pass it on without a strap.  I want to recycle it responsibly because of the battery vs. throwing it in the trash.  Does any place take these?  I noticed a reuse site on another thread, but I would assume this is for working watches.  Any help?

I have a Charge3 which works fine except its screen has grown continuously dimmer until it can only be read in a very dark room. I have replaced it with a Charge4. I'd be happy to send it to you, especially with a pre-paid shipping label. It still works well enough that I'll be able to remove it from my account before I do. Let me know if (and how) I should also erase it. Thanks for keep Li-ion batteries out of landfills. Thanks!

@Williger I have a Versa 2 were the screen shows white lines over about 1/3 of it. 
Fitbit sent me a replacement, but I'd like to keep it out of the landfill. Can you provide me a label and I'll send it to you, if you think it's worth repairing. If not, then I'll add it to my pile of e-waste that I'll take to the local e-waste center near the end of the year.

Cheers!

@Williger I have a fitbit alta hr with a scrambled screen. Otherwise in great working order. If RecycleHealth is not interested, would you like it?

No thanks. I have no use for it.

@Williger if you are still looking for devices, I have a Charge 4 that was replaced under warranty. Don't need the broken one (bracket for strap attachment broke) but it still turns on and works just fine.

Hello,

Are you still collecting old Fitbits? I have a Versa that no longer works. I can send it to you if you are interested.

 

Thanks.

@Williger I have two Charges (I think the HR) that had charging issues if I remember correctly, and a Versa 2 that works perfectly but has a broken screen. I'd love to send them to you for you to make use of, since I know trying to sell them for parts is going to be a hassle.

Hey, Is your offer still valid? I have an old Fitbit that sometimes accidentally turns off (the last time I checked a couple of years ago) if you would like to take a crack at it

My dm is @charwhee but not sure I can dm you. I have a Versa that I can't turn on.

I'd like to send to you. I don't need it back. You're welcome to repair/refurb and use/donate.

 

 

Thanks,

Charlie

@Willigerare you still taking old devices?? I found my old Charge HR, but screen won't work and I can't sync it to the FitBit app. I hate to just throw it away...

I've got a Charge 2, works great, but screen is cracked, is it possible to have a new glass fitted? Don't really want to replace it as I like the one I have and have several changes of strap for it.

@Williger,  are you still taking broken fitbits?  I have some trackers I would like to send you if you are interested.  I have 2 Inspire 2 and a Alta HR that will not power on or the display is so dim you cannot see it.

 

Thank you!
