I’ve had an email from Nnicdic saying
how can i recycle speakers they work but are unwanted?
Because they work, I would automatically suggest trying your local Freecycle group as chances are, someone will be able to use them for their intended purpose.
But for this site, lets assume that they don’t work - anyone got any ideas of how broken speakers (or any of their component parts) could be reused?

The speakers can be ripped apart. The casing can be used somehow. The cardboard piece can be tossed in the recycle bin, and there are lots of uses for the magnet. The speaker cord can be used also.

Take them down to your local Civic Amenity Site. Someone will pick them up and find a use for them.

I’ve been thinking, if you can hotwire a car, then why should it be out of the question to hotwire all of your speakers into some sort of converter that hooks up to the media system (your computer) to give you steller vintage surround sound. Most speakers work, their components are plastic and metal. The product should work as long as the materials hold out (which as I’m told is for thousands of years). I’ve been looking for someone who knows enough about computers and engineering to help me out.
It would seem like a simple operation, like putting speakers in a car, right?
Why should we let all of that untapped sound end up on the street when we can reuse those parts and blast our music into kingdom come?
What if you could just go to good will and use those speakers to create a home made surround sound? Who’s with me?
any ideas?

If they are big rectangular, use them as side tables, covered or not.
The box itself can serve as a shelf, or storage cubby.
