We suggest people first try to trade in or sell their old electronics. Getting some money is better than ZERO. If your electronic gadget is broken, try fixing it first.
Not worth anything? Donate your old Electronics. Digitaltips has a page of organizations that accept donations.
Recycle electronics:
Most towns and retailers have e-waste events, most are free, some require fees. It is important to find a responsible recycling, not just any firm. You don’t want your old electronics shipped halfway around the world, ending up polluting some 3rd world country. Electronic products are full of toxics including lead, mercury, and many other heavy metals. Some developing countries extract the precious metals in electronics by burning them, sending toxins like dioxin into the air. Unused with those parts are dumped contaminating the area nearby.
