Not only would you get rid of the clocks that you don't need you would also be helping someone out. You can donate these clocks to local government schools, someone you personally know or even NGOs. though this might seem like a small contribution it still counts more than one thinks. So don't feel weird if you think only donating a clock is a bit weird Bringing items to recycling centres is also one way of making sure that old items that can still be useful do not end up in landfills. Clocks can be considered as part of e-waste which should not be in landfills because they contain chemicals that would harm the environment as well as the health of humans.

You can also offer the clock at a garage sale for a few bucks if the clock is still functioning. It might even get you a few extra bucks Plastic Clocks As you know one of the most difficult things to actually recycle is plastic, so if you have a clock that is made up of plastic, the best way to dispose of it is through giving/gifting it to someone else or reconstructing something new out of it if you have the abilities to do that Hopefully, this article was helping in answering your query as to the uses that clocks have gave you a gist to their overall importance in our world.
