I am from Michigan and I have 2 broken hairdryers from various manufacturers. Trying to find an answer to what to do with them instead of adding to the landfills.

That’s great — thanks for sharing! I wonder if they actually recycle them, or just fix them up to sell at their stores…

After much searching, the only place I found in the California San Francisco South Bay Area that would recycle my broken hair dyer was the Goodwill Donation Station trailers. Luckily they are everywhere and accept broken small appliances, including hair dryers, coffee pots, etc. Awesome!

I read your post and as my hair dryer is ready to kick it as well, I thought I’d follow up with the manufacturer: Remington. To my surprise, they immediately agreed to send me a paid return label so that I can send the old blower back to them and they “will take it from there.” I’m not sure what that means exactly, but clearly they’ve been listening to consumer concerns! Thanks for voicing yours!

Hey Jen, I’ve got extra hairdryers (1800 watt) to give to you–all I have do is find them! Now THAT’s recycling…
