Think Twice Before Turning Digital Electronics Into Waste

Thrifty and green consumers are thinking twice before tossing out laptops and cellphones. Throwing away used but functional digital electronics is equivalent to throwing away cash. Recycling an electronic device extends its life – there will always be someone willing to use it.

Five Steps to Turn Unwanted Electronics Into Cash-Old Electronics

Here are five steps to make electronic equipment recycling worth the effort, while keeping dangerous electronic components out of landfills.

  1. Search websites like YouRenew.com, Gazelle.com, Flip.com, eBay, or Craig’s List to choose the best market for selling or recycling a particular brand of surplus or used electronics. Have the device on hand with the model number noted and any accessories that may be included in the sale. (Accessories may boost the value of the product). Online electronic recycling centers offer an automated offer within seconds, with checks or PayPal payments issued within 72 hours, while eBay and Craig’s List may be monitored over time.
  2. Save original packaging on all new products as a rule. But if original isn’t available, many online recycling centers offer prepaid shipping and packing materials. Once a resale or recycle agreement has been made, clean and prepare the electronic device for packing.
  3. Protect personal information. Remove SIM cards and hard drives. Erase memory from external drives. Eject inserted flashcards, cds, games from all devices before packing for shipment.
  4. Photograph the electronic device and accessories and assess the condition of each item truthfully before shipping. Keep hard copies of online transactions and communications with the buyer.
  5. Choose from gadgets that are popular and easy to resell or recycle.

Keep Electronic Waste Out of Landfills-Old Electronics

Bazı tüketici elektroniği, yeniden satış pazarında pek başarılı değildir ve çevrimiçi geri dönüşüm şirketleri tarafından hemen kabul edilmemektedir. Ancak elektronik bileşenlerde bulunan ağır metalleri çöplüklerin dışında tutmak önemlidir. Kullanılmış ancak işlevsel elektronikleri bağışlamak için yerel hayır kurumlarını kontrol edin. Yerel belediye web sitelerinin yanı sıra Gazelle.com ve YouRenew.com, elektronik hurda geri dönüşümü için bayileri listeler:

  • TVS, CRT monitörler, yazıcılar, faks makineleri, bazı LCD monitör modelleri
  • Bazı masaüstü bilgisayarlar, GPS sistemleri, LCD televizyon modelleri

Tüketici Elektroniğinin Yüzde Onunu Yıllık Geri Dönüştürüyor

Less than 10% of consumer electronics are recycled or reused, according to Rich Littlehale of YouRenew.com. The lifespan of a cellphone averages no more than 16 months due to constant upgrades to newer technology. But Littlehale and his business partner Bob Casey have discovered a lucrative market for refurbished technology online. With so many options, there is no longer any excuse for pitching unwanted electronics in the trash.

Aries horoscope love compatibility

HOROSCOPE LOVE COMPATIBILITY BETWEEN ARIES AND ARIES ARIES AND ARIES:   it may be an intense love affair, but neither of the 2 Aries is satisfied with not having the lead. The Aries female objectively tends to dominate. Yet, Aries male too. Therefore there will be a big opposition to be number one, at least during the first days of the relationship. In the bedroom too, both Aries will engage a fierce struggle to dominate the other. The relationship between two Aries may be good though if each has outside interests and/or a career separate from the other. As a matter of a fact, when their energies are not always in the same room and when each partner can satisfy the natural Aries’ will to dominate, the relationship between two Aries is intensely passionate and less destructive. HOROSCOPE LOVE COMPATIBILITY BETWEEN ARIES AND TAURUS ARIES AND TAURUS:   That’s a difficult match. Taurus likes to stay at home, is possessive and jealous, characteristics highly conflicting with Aries’...

Purebred Dogs - What, me resemble my dog?

Purebred Dogs - What, me resemble my dog?  More than meets the eye…. We’ve all seen those articles that infer that a dog owner begins to take on the outward appearance of their dog. I for one, feel I have little physically in common with my dog (a KBT). I’m sure you would agree this premise does not have enough documentation! Certainly I did not choose Maggie because she would resemble me! People own dogs for different reasons and in an earlier article I dealt with choosing your pet based on exercise time, training time, home alone time, grooming time, and physical attributes. Now I’d like to look at the less objective reasons for dog ownership. Are dog owners of the same breed similar? Do you fit the profile of other owners for your breed? Check How dogs and their Owner’s Personalities are Similar where significant research is posted on the similarities among owners of same breeds as compared to other dog breed owners. This site is worth a visit if you own, or if you are...
