Otherwise, I take it to BestBuy to be recycled (assuming they still do that). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-old-electronics#post-1739101 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 16:00:00 +0000 pui 1739101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I either give them away or throw them out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-old-electronics#post-1739098 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 15:58:34 +0000 sunny 1739098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depending on how old/how much time I have, I may try to sell certain things. You could check on eBay to see if they are worth anything. Even if they are, if its not over $10-20, it may not be worth your time to take pictures, write up the auction info and take it to the post office.</p> <p>If not, then I take them to get recycled. </p> <p>I've also given stuff away on Craig's List when I was moving &amp; didn't mind random people coming to my home. I probably wouldn't go out of my way to meet someone at a public place though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-old-electronics#post-1739090 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 15:53:28 +0000 Mommy Finger 1739090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My town has a free recycling day for all electronics and papers that need to be shredded. We take it there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-with-old-electronics#post-1739084 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 15:48:30 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1739084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Currently I have three (!!!) point and shoot cameras that I've managed to total, plus an old Pandigital that I can't seem to make work despite the Android hack, plus a few all-in-one printers that I no longer use... What do you do when you seem to start collecting pieces of technology? The cameras, for example, would cost more to fix than a new one is worth. The Pandigital I'm sure someone could use and figure out how to fix but that person obviously isn't me and I don't need four or five printers!</p> <p>What would you do? Yard sale? Search for a local place to recycle? Would you try to recoup any money off of them? </p>
