Content: Owing to rapidly changing technology, the rise of disposable income, and availability of electronic products, it’s no surprise e-waste has become a major concern. Do Something points out that between 20 to 50 million metric tons of e-waste are disposed every year. Unfortunately, only about 12.5% of it is recycled. Even more unfortunate is the fact that most of these consumer electronics can be reused or are in perfect working condition. Most devices such as cell phones, laptops, memory sticks, TVs, tablets and batteries end up in landfills and contribute to air and water pollution. Minimizing electronic waste is one of the best ways to keep our environment safe. The good news is that it’s fairly easy to reduce your e-waste. Donate or Sell Working Electronics
One simple way to efficiently manage e-waste is to simply sell your working electronics. You may find a buyer via eBay or Craigslist. Many of these buyers will use them, resell them, or use / sell the parts.
