I’ve been looking for a place to get free or very cheap SD cards. (storage of up to 256MB or more dep on price & availability).

I would like to use them for photoshoots on the run, so I can offer the pictures to people when I take their portraits. If you have any ideas where I could find a large batch of such SD’s, please let me know.

Thanks!

Hi…

I currently run a company that redistributes memory cards and other electronic items such as laptops and PC’s around public organisiations, homes, schools, hospitals in the UK.

If the Items are tested and confirmed working we have arrangements for pre paid shipping to our HQ.

For small items such as memory cards we send a pre paid pre paid SAE.

If you have any such items or have any further questions please odn’t hesitate to contact me through the above email address.

Many Thanks

I’ve just set up a company to recycle memory cards and USB drives and am currently working with a lot of the mobile phone recycling companies. I am trying to think of a cost effective method to enable the general public to be able to simply send me their unwanted memory cards so that they can have a single point of reference. Any ideas, please let me know.

I’m sure someone will have a use for them if they still work. I use a laptop for all my schoolwork, an essay tends to be about 90kb – and I need to transfer them to a PC for printing quite often – so there would be enough memory space for someone who could use them like that – if you can redistribute them.
As for broken ones, maybe making smaller objects that wobble level?

There is a charity I’m involved with called Afrilink (reg: Scotland) that would be more than happy to collect working ones for use in Cameroon

Perhaps a school could use them?

broken ones – make earrings or keyrings.
working ones – there should be enough people out there that need the memory of a specific kind, so the best would be to give to someone if unneeded :)
