Electronic gadgets; aren’t they great? Owning the newest and shiniest, top-of-the-line device is a gadget lover’s dream-come-true. That brand new iPod would look so much nicer and hold many more songs than the old one. But what about the old iPod or those other outdated gadgets collecting dust? Chances are, they still work. They simply aren’t as fast or as thin, as shiny and new as the newer versions. Acquiring new gadgets is the easy part; getting rid of the older ones responsibly is more difficult.

The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that only 12.5% of all United States electronics are recycled each year. In 1995, the EPA reported that Americans generated approximately 2 million tons of unwanted electronics and more than 80% ended up in U.S. landfills. Many electronic devices contain hazardous or toxic materials, which could potentially leach into water reserves or be released into the air if incinerated.

Several companies are now offering a variety of options for those who want to dispose of, or trade, older gadgets for cash or credit, or personal satisfaction.
