Re: Getting Rid Of Old Electronics

Personally don't have any old electronics but hubby picks up lap tops and computer drives when people throw them out. He takes them to a recyle center and gets $8-$10 each. I believe there is either gold or platinum inside that is taken from them.

Re: Getting Rid Of Old Electronics

Our township stopped having the special weekends for getting rid of electronics and now have to go to the next county over to a recycler of that stuff. I recently cut off my cable and use a firestick. My TV upstairs is old (has a tube in it) and can't use one with  that. It's also very heavy and it's upstairs. Will again have to ask for help to get it down the stairs and into my car if it will fit. Anyhow, will have to wait and see.

Re: Getting Rid Of Old Electronics

No, we do not have any old electronics sitting here waiting for disposal.   Once they die, we try to get rid of them ASAP.   

 

Within the last few years we learned the VA accepts old cell phones, so that's how we got those out of the house.
