Look up the brand and you should be able to find a replacement online. People's pets occasionally chew up remotes so replacements should be available.

I Live In A Resort. You Would Not Belive What Rich People Throw Out
Tabitha 11 months ago
I live near a resort too (used to live in it, but prefer living out of it), so I know what tourists throw out at the end of their vacations—-especially if it’s something they’re not supposed to have, like a barbecue grill at the beach, in the wind, while staying at a wooden beach house or condo building—-as well as what the owners toss at the end of the rental season and when they decide to redecorate their properties.

When I worked at Panera, the people from the local food banks would come to the store every day at closing time. We gave them everything that was leftover. Good to know they still do that.

These are mostly American, definitely not in the UK at any rate. The sheer wastage appals me.
