如何处理电子产品
以环保的方式处理电子产品实际上比您想象的更容易,并且在某些情况下,您实际上可以赚钱。
Bring Electronics or Ship Them to an Electronics Recycling Center
The first way to recycle electronics is to find a local electronic recycling center and drop off your electronics. For larger items, you can often pay a small fee to have them picked up.
Alternatively, you can find a company online that will send you a bag and you can ship your smaller electronics back to them and they’ll take care of the rest.
The best way to find a center is to simply do a Google search for the type of electronic that you would like to recycle and browse the results. You can also look at Earth911 and use theirrecycling solution locatorto find help near you.
给技术巨头给电子
Instead of tossing your old electronics on the side of the road, consider donating to a tech giant as one of the电视倾销的替代品。
许多科技巨头喜欢苹果,最佳,冲刺和亚马逊,将为您提供礼品卡以换取您的旧电子产品,或者只是作为回收中心。
Some stores will only accept specific electronics, but you might get a bit of money nevertheless. For example, Office Depot and Staples have printer cartridge recycling programs that make it easy to make a few dollars off of your old cartridges.
捐赠或销售电子产品
As the old saying goes, “one person’s trash is another person’s treasure!”. If your electronics are still in working condition but you’ve just updated to a newer version, consider donating or selling your electronics.
Thrift shops are hotbeds for great electronic finds and are the perfect solution for older electronics that you can’t be bothered selling.
However, if you have a newer electronic like a phone or a computer that’s still in working condition, consider selling it to make a bit of money. Sites like Swappa, eBay, or Amazon are great places to see how much other people are charging for the same device and to list your own.
