Saving/Creating Money While Reducing E-Waste

I don’t know if you’ve seen the art exhibit about e-waste recently, but it’s shocking how many electronic gadgets we “consume” worldwide in the form of mobile phones, batteries, cameras, etc. Some of these have lived beyond their usefulness. I have on my desk, and old mobile phone/PDA and a digital camera that no longer works, and I went looking for a savvy way to recycle them.

I found Gazelle, which will PAY ME for the gadgets, and also, they’ll manage the shipping, and even send me a box. (So I do NOTHING, Literally).

Oh, and I get $53 (varies depending on the make/model of your equipment. Give it a try–the link is below.

    Great idea. I have an old Palm Treo that I wasn't sure what to do with… I'll give it a try. I'm enjoying your blogs.

    Brian, thanks for visiting and I'm glad you like the blog! I got my package from Gazelle in the mail yesterday (wow they're fast). They enclosed a post-age paid flat rate box from USPS. Super easy! I can just give it to my mail carrier or drop it off at the post office. And now I've got that phone and broken camera out of my "junk drawer." I'm hoping they start taking batteries. I pile those up too not wanting to toss them in the garbage.
