I love this.
I've been thinking of building a "poor man's cluster" using every old phone, Kindle, or laptop.
They make a good point how phones have batteries that can charge at off peak hours. I figured if I built my cluster I'd remove the batteries to reduce the fire risk.

I think the Africans have beaten you to that idea already. https://sm.pcmag.com/t/pcmag_uk/news/c/cleaning-u/cleaning-up-the-e-waste-mess-big-tech-needs-to-do-more_3q9d.1920.jpg https://sm.pcmag.com/t/pcmag_uk/news/c/cleaning-u/cleaning-u... On a more serious note though, repurposing old tech is perfectly valid, all we need is more programmers, so should programming become a mandatory lesson taught at schools in order to reduce e-waste, alongside Maths English & Science? And would it lead to a world looking like this https://i.redd.it/z123hws4wtj31.jpg https://i.redd.it/z123hws4wtj31.jpg or like this https://i.redd.it/shvbec21k8y81.png https://i.redd.it/shvbec21k8y81.png ?
