HOW TO RECYCLE ELECTRONICS

  • Just like with other materials, electronics can
    actually be recycled a few different ways. Not
    all of your electronics have to go straight to
    the nearest recycling center that accepts
    e-waste. There are other ways you can recycle
    your electronics before they end up in a
    recycling facility.

How to Recycle Electronics That Are Still Usable
  • Just because an old electronic gadget is no
    longer useful to you, does not mean it is no
    longer useful at all. Most likely, there is
    someone out there who could put your old consumer
    electronic gadget to good use, and reusing that
    old electronic device is actually a way of
    recycling that old electronic device.

  • So, now that you know how to recycle electronics
    that are still operational, where do you find
    someone to either give or sell your old
    electronic devices to? There are actually a
    number of ways to accomplish this.

  • If you are looking to make a little bit of extra
    cash, you can either trade-in or sell your old
    electronics online.

How to Recycle Electronics by Trading Them in or
Selling Them

    who will offer you cash or gift cards for your
    old electronics, depending on what they are.

How to Recycle Electronics by Trading Them in or
Selling Them
  • You can list your item for sale on a site like
    Craigslist, BackPage or your local newspaper. 
  • You can also give your electronics away to
    someone in need. You could donate them to your
    favorite charity or non-profit organization.
    Usually, you can write these donations off on
    your taxes as well.

How to Recycle Broken Electronics
  • At this point, it is best to either take them to
    a recycling center or do a drop-off or mail-in to
    a retailer that accepts broken electronics for
    recycling purposes.
  • Some of these places include Best Buy, Office
    Depot, Staples and several others. Many of these
    retailers will accept your electronics free of
    charge.

  • Now that you know how to recycle electronics, I
    hope you decide to do you part and help us reduce
    the amount of e-waste that is junking up our
    precious planet.
