    Definitely bring it to an electronics recycling center, rather than sending it to a landfill. Shame on them for recommending that.

      It’s bad wording from the article. The actual Spotify support page says this:

      We recommend resetting your Car Thing to factory settings and safely disposing of your device following local electronic waste guidelines. Contact your state or local waste disposal department to determine how to dispose of or recycle Car Thing in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
