Get Rid of Old Electronics, Make Some Money, and Save the World



Gazelle is a company that will buy your old, unused, and broken electronics (phones, gaming systems, computers, cameras, etc.).



Here's a short video. It's simple:
  1. You fill out a form, which asks for the device's name, details, and existing condition.
  2. Gazelle instantly estimates the device's worth and shows you its market value history.
  3. If you agree to sell it, Gazelle with ship you a prepaid box for your device.
  4. Once the device is received, Gazelle will pay you through Paypal or by check. You even have the option of donating to charity.
  5. If your device isn't worth anything, Gazelle will still ship it to a recycling facility for you.

DO IT! Make some money while saving the environment from toxic e-waste.

Addendum: I wanted to add this link. Apparently, a blogger at the NYTimes also had e-waste on her mind yesterday. She describes way to get rid of batteries and printer cartridges.

  1. Just checked however and I sold my ipod touch (3rd gen 64gb) on eBay for $250 and they offer (at most) $133. I guess it's still a good option for people who don't care too much about the price and want to recycle properly.
