Ooohhhh yeah!! We’ve had a good run old chap… Hey everyone and welcome to DIYin5. I’m Trisha Hershberger and in this episode we will tell you how to recycle or donate those old electronics that have been collecting dust in the closet. If you want tips to breath new life into said gadgets, then don’t forget to subscribe so you won’t miss any of our upcoming episodes. Let’s be real... we all get excited when we get the latest & greatest gadget but as time moves on these new toys become old and slow... and suddenly you want something new again! Do you find yourself thinking “now what do I do with this”? Electronics aren’t made to last forever and all tech companies don’t mind if you upgrade every year or two. Wink wink, nudge nudge... Because of this, all these old gadgets usually end up in your closet or your garage for years! It’s like an old friend that you just can’t bear to get rid of so you just keep it! But, my friends, it’s time to let go. So what’s the best thing to do you ask? Donate or recycle! Donate your old PCs and phones to groups that will fix and clean them and put them back into use. Even that old Windows XP system can probably be used by someone else. But... there are electronics that even charities won’t accept. That’s when you know it’s really bad and you might need to check yourself into gadget hoarding rehab. But did you know that old electronics or “e-waste” are potentially dangerous? They can be filled with toxic metals and chemicals that are fine when being used but hazardous when sitting in a landfill. So where do you go? ♫ ♬ Captain Planet, he’s our hero!

By taking it to any of these sites you are guaranteed that your old stuff is recycled safely. If big box stores are more your jam, then Best Buy probably has the best retail recycling program out there. If you go on their website, it lists out what the store will and won’t accept. Just be aware there are some items listed, like TVs, which cost $25 to take. As a bonus Best Buy also has a Trade-in program where you can trade in some items for a gift card which you can put toward a shiny new device. Now if you’re a Tetris master or have pro packing skills then Office Depot has a Tech Recycling Service where you buy a recycling box and put as many devices in there for a flat rate of $5 to $15, as long as it closes of course. OK, competition time! What’s the oldest tech you still have laying around in your closet or garage? Let us know in the comments below. I think I still have an HTC Tilt laying in a drawer somewhere… Those things were really cool back in the day, I swear! Now if you just can’t part with your gadgets we’ve got other videos for you.
