I have numerous old Sky and Sky+ boxes, how do I dispose of them?

Will+Mc — Thu, 18 May 2023 12:17:31 GMT

I have old boxes that were mine, plus my In-Laws boxes, which need disposing of. Do I need to send them back to Sky, they haven't requested I do, or simply take them to a local council tip?

SKY+ and Sky HD boxes are yours to do with as you wish. Sell them or dispose of them at the electrical recycling at the local tip. (Sky Q boxes belong to sky and must be returned)

I believe you can recycle via Sky: https://www.sky.com/help/articles/return-or-recycle-sky-equipment

This post is very useful. Is this the case for recycling the old sky routers like the sky hub as well.

Yes, if it's a Sky Hub (shown here) or earlier. The later models may be loaned to you and therefore need to be returned to Sky.
