Why don’t you donate them to a thrift store or educational charity? Are there no non-profits who refurbish and reuse electronics in your community?
I don't want to burn fuel trying to find a place to accept used 5 year old Airpod Pros with yellow earbud plastic.
I don't want to ship another cable across the Pacific Ocean from China so I can have a cable that works on my devices.
I want to keep using them until they don't work and I can't repair them any more.
