Old Openreach FTTC box - recycling?

I've just successfully upgraded from FTTC to FTTP. I have been left with the old Openreach FTTC "modem" which is now redundant. I understand Plusnet will recycle their own routers. But not sure how to recycle the old Openreach box - would this be via Plusnet or Openreach?

@Mike37 

Is it a TG5852n box?

If it is you can return it via PN. I returned one last week.

If you have an eBay account I believe you might get a few quid for it.

 

Otherwise any local re-cycling centre that takes small electrical goods.

With a power supply, it typically sells for around £20.

I am the satisfied customer....
