Remember me
We all have that bin in the corner of our shops — the one with all the circuit boards or broken electronics that we are totally gonna do something with. We might rationalize that they’re worth keeping for the parts alone, but the reality is, unless you desolder and sort all the components ahead of time, most of us will never really use these spare parts to their full potential. Except it really doesn’t have to be that way. Junkbin.io is an attempt to improve on the state of that corner bin.
Though in its early years, Junkbin has a variety of the previously mentioned resources as well as many others. Currently, it is ripe to contribute, and we here at Hackaday know how important the community is to get these projects truly off the ground and to their full potential.
Created by [Steve Cap], Junkbin is a community dictionary of sorts to document and reuse electronic components found on many of the devices found around you. Do you need a single small form factor resistor of a specific resistance? That’s where Junkbin comes in to show you where you might find that specific component.
If you want a more macro-scale example of electronics recycling, make sure to check out our other featured projects such as these reused laptops! Or maybe take a look at this graveyard of defunct electronics to add to Junkbin…
