    5 Hassle-Free Ways to Recycle Old Devices You Aren't Using Anymore

    Not too long ago, most families had one house phone that they used for decades until it stopped working. When computers hit the market, people would buy a desktop and keep it in their home for years and years. These days, every family member has their own personal cell-phone, and each household has a computer, laptop, or several tablets. Devices are commonplace, and not only can they be found in abundance, but they are frequently replaced for the newest, upgraded version. Because of this pattern, we will go through several devices in our lifetime. Whether a device breaks down or it is just outdated by the latest technology, there is no need to throw it away when you are done. You might think that finding a place to recycle your old devices is too much of a hassle, but the truth is that there are several organizations that will gladly take an old device of your hands so it doesn’t go to waste. Read on to learn about a few different places you can take your old devices when you no longer find use for them.

    5 Hassle-Free Ways to Recycle Old Devices You Aren't Using Anymore

    Christina Foundation

    Christina Foundation helps you place your old computer or other useful electronic devices with schools and charities. The foundation’s website makes recycling your old computer and other hardware easy. Donating hardware to Christina Foundation, you have the option of dropping it off at a location, arranging a pick up or arranging a delivery. You can also choose the recipient of your donation. The foundation also has dedicated representatives to assist and accepts electronics in bulk.

    World Computer Exchange

    WCE is on a mission to bridge the digital divide around the world. The program refurbishes your old computer and recirculates it around the world. WCE works with libraries, computer labs, universities and schools everywhere in need of digital technology. While promoting more equal access to digital technology, the program also saves the environment from the effects of one more old computer dumped in a landfill.

    Best Buy

    Presently, Best Buy has recycled 909 million pounds of electronic devices. The retail chain accepts most electronics for their recycling program from individuals but does not work with businesses seeking to recycle a high volume. For residents, Best Buy is a one stop free service for unloading old electronics. Drop your items off at any of the chain’s locations.

    Dell

    Dell’s Reconnect computer recycling program has established drop-offs for old computers at 2,000 Goodwills. The computer giant accepts any computer brand through Reconnect. Dell customers can recycle Dell computers without leaving home. Simply print out a FedEx label from the company’s website and arrange a pickup for free.

    Salvation Army

    Another well known thrift store, Salvation Army, has a program which is similar to Dell and Goodwill’s Reconnect. Working with TV and computer manufacturers, the Salvation Army can accept any electronic device for recycling free of charge at their numerous locations.

    All of the options above and many more are waiting out there to help you recycle technology no longer in use around your home or business. Our electronic devices should never end up in a landfill. Someone, somewhere, can tap into their power and find a new owner in need.
