Electronics are made of materials that are hazardous to landfills, prompting some states to make it nearly impossible to simply take your old stereo or computer to a landfill and leave it there. Here are some alternatives to recycling your electronics. You can give them away to friends and family or you can take them to a company that has a recycling program, like best buy or Staples.
Giving friends and family old equipment can be a great way to recycle old equipment. If you know of someone that can benefit from an upgrade you can save them money by donating your old sound system, computer or TV. Chances are they will do the same. If you know of a youngster that is a “tinkerer” with electronics or a budding “independent film maker”, letting them experiment with your old camera or stereo can provide them with the learning tools they need. You just might be helping jumpstart a new career path for them as well.
Recycling programs are great for computers, but electronics superstores like Best Buy and Samsung are picking up steam. Sony has teamed up with Waste Management to create over 160 drop off locations for your televisions, audio and visual equipment. How these programs work is by offering incentives to the consumer for properly disposing of their electronics. This can be in the form of coupons for a percentage off of their next purchase to even detracting from the value of the desired purchase if they plan to buy the same day. This way, the stores can deal directly with electronics recycling facilities so that the consumer doesn’t have to.
More and more electronics giants are taking advantage of the recycling program. Its an advantage for them because it attracts customers who, in this economy, might not have as much to spend on gadgets as they’d like. Its an advantage for the consumer because its almost like a trade-in towards the value of the new purchase, saving them money.
