Need to get rid of unused VM Tivo Box

on ‎14-04-2020 12:42

I have an old, unused VM Tivo Box I'd like to get rid of, either by returning to VM or recycling.

How can I best achieve this, please?

Could text 07533051809 with message saying you would like to return TiVo. Might get a free post return packaging. 

Collection agents were about to start work when the lockdown begun.

It is virgin media's property. Text them ask you if it's ok to recycle.

According to this link:

https://www.virginmedia.com/help/virgin-media-return-or-recycle-equipment 

the Tivo box is NOT shown as equipment that has to be RETURNED.

So I assume I can use the above link to RECYCLE it instead?

With recycling centres currently shut that route isn't an option.  Suggest you just stick it in a cupboard until some sort of normality returns.
