    If you really had an ancient Roku 2, it's no wonder you had problems. A newer one would probably work better.

    The first thing you should do is go to your Roku account and unlink it from your account. Just scroll down near the bottom, where you can view it.

    Next, factory reset it. You can temporarily connect it to your TV, then go to Settings/Systems/Advanced System Settings, and choose Factory Reset. If you don't want to connect it to the TV, most have a hole somewhere that you can use a paperclip to push and hold for a long time, but it does require power.

    After that, you can look for any local electronics recycling.
