I have thrown away loads. I need 2 or 3 maybe. I would easily have 30 or 40 by now if I didn't regularly take them to the dump and chick them in the electronic bin. All of my wall sockets have USB charging sockets built in already anyway.
Often you get crap ones bundled with stuff anyway - e.g. 500ma or 1a output.
- Yetanfou 7y agoWhy do you buy so many devices which come with chargers - i.e. phones and tablets, mostly? I'm on my 4th 'smart phone' in total, counting from the original Nokia N-GAGE (the 'taco phone', got it because it was a cheap and easy way into the 'smart' phone world). I replaced the Nokia because I cracked its screen, the Qtek S200 because I ran out of replacement batteries, the Motorola Defy+ is still in use as a 'work phone' and the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 is my current main device. Add to that 2 tablets (plus an early third one (Ainol Novo 8 Advanced) which charges off a 9V adapter, still works) and I'm up to 5 USB chargers (plus a Nokia charger) in 16 years. Also, don't take those chargers to the dump, instead take them to a thrift store or some charity. They can sell the things for a few €, the things get reused, everybody is happy.

- zepto 7y agoI see - I assume these aren’t iPhones? I guess that raises the issue that iPhones have a much longer usable life too - most of then get handed down at least once or twice.
