Consider donation or reuse if in good condition. Older, vintage landline telephones without "electronics" though electrical, may go into the garbage. Modern telephone systems with electronic components - think digital screen and having a computer chip - would be considered an electronic device and when broken or beyond repair, considered e-waste.
Telephones
Telephones -- for purposes in this database are referring to landlines, with or without cords -- are devices which transmit and receive sound, typically the human voice.
