Get a few bucks for your old tech gadgets
If you received some new gadgets this holiday season and are wondering what to do with the old ones, a recent Washington Post article has the answer.
There are two Web sites that will buy your old gadget -- cell phones, laptops, PlayStations and more. You type in info about the gadget and the sites calculate how much they'll pay you for it. Then they either refurbish it and resell it, or recycle it.
The sites are: Gazelle.com and YouRenew.com. Even if they won't pay you for the gadget -- if it's worth $0 -- they'll still recycle it. Gazelle claims that 80 percent of the items it buys get reused. For each item you send them to recycle, YouRenew let's you choose how they contribute to a better environment: You can ask them to give towards domestic renewable energy production or plant one tree.
So, if you got a new cell phone for the holidays and still have your old one, check out these sites and let that gadget get reused!
