Recycle Your Electronics & Make $
Jan 22nd, 2009 | By DebOnTheWeb | Category: Greener Living, TechnologyDid you get a new Wii or Iphone for the holidays and now don’t know what to do with your old phone or XBox? I’ve just come across a very cool site called Gazelle. This company buys old electronics like camcorders, cellphones and MP3 players. Rather than just recycle the components, they have outlets to resell the items so the idea is that everything gets reused before being recycled. They’ll even pay for your shipping and send you a box, so using their service is a no brainer.
I recently used Freecycle.org and gave away some older electronics, but whether you decide to try to sell your electronics or give them away, reusing these items and keeping them out of landfills is the way to go!
Read more about my great experience with Freecycle.org.
Computer Buyback and Recycling Programs aid in reducing the amount of electronics in landfills by refurbishing for reuse or by safely recycling it.

RICOM extends environmental technology solutions saving customers money. Electronic products make up the fastest growing segment of our landfill waste. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, in 2007, more than 63 million computers in the United States were traded in for replacements, or simply thrown out. Discarded computers don’t just take up space in a landfill. Careless computer disposal spread toxic wastes of more than 100 chemicals leaching in the soil. Be responsible, reuse certified refurbished equipment, and recycle your aging data center equipment that is cost effective both business and environmentally.
