Ways to Recycle Electronics

If you're looking to upgrade your old electronics, you shouldn't just throw your old devices or appliances away immediately. Take a look at some recycling ideas from Frugal For Life:

• Sell It: if your electronic device or appliance is less than 5 years old and is still in working order, you can probably fetch some money for it on eBay or Craigslist. You could also try to get a gift card for it from sites like gazelle.com or nextworth.com. Never forget to erase hard drive data or remove the card in cell phones!
  
  
• Swap It: sometimes, the item you have can be turned in for an upgraded version at a discounted price. Best Buy, for one, has a trade in policy. You could also check with friends and family to swap with them.
  
  
• Break It Down: break an item down and save things like screws and other little bits for other projects.
