Are there any UK Charities that would take a non working HP printer?

Above.

I bought a new printer on Amazon last week, which came on Sunday afternoon, to replace another HP that no longer works for some reason.

Would there be any Charities that would take a non-working Printer? I'm loath to put it on eBay as the last 3 out of 4 times I sold on there the stuff's gone walkies in the post.

I am aware of Google.

I doubt a charity would want broken stuff, they have loads of that junk.
You could always put out a craigslist ad for a free broken printer for pickup only. I'm sure theres someone like me near you that would come pick it up cause they can fix it.
Or take it to a local electronics repair shop, tell them its broken and you just want to get rid of it. They usually take junk, fix it and sell it for cheap. Better than it going to a landfill somewhere.

In actual fact I know somewhere local that might be able to do something with it, Aspire Sheffield, based at Soar Works in Parson Cross.

Can try it :) They may just sell it for parts or not even realize it doesn't work! :)

Turns out the old Printer does work, someone had put duff cartridges in.
