Recyle That Old Laptop For Cash
If there was a way to do the responsible thing with your old electronics and earn a little cash at the same time would you do it? An online company named Gazelle does just that. Gazelle will buy or recycle all kinds of electronic devices like cell phones, MP3 Players and GPS units. Simply find your make and model, get a price quote, and ship the gadget to them for free. Once it's received, Gazelle evaluates the condition of the item, strips your personal data from it, and mails you a check. Once your gadget is refurbished, it's resold or recycled responsibly.
I searched the site and found my 1st generation iPod mini that currently sits in a drawer, I put in a few bits of information about my pod like it's condition and whether it actually works etc. And presto, they offered me $19 for my old music machine.
Now I know your not going to get rich off this but if your not using something and just planning on throwing it away isn't it better to get the current market value than zilch? They will even send you a postage paid envelope so you don't spend a penny to do the right thing. Click HERE to visit the website and see what your old junk is worth.

About this blog
Roxanne Kotzman is a Daily News Photo Department veteran of nine years. When she and longtime friend Stacy Long
discovered their love all of all things environmentally responsible, they launched Happy Monkey Planet and jumped head-first into the vibrant eco-community.
Wow, so much to learn! But initially the idea is a pretty simple one: Let's change the world through information, education and action.
Rox & Stacy are a lot like you: ecologically minded but sometimes just plain overwhelmed when charged with the task of making a far-reaching difference in the environment. They have jobs, families, homes, lives and pets.
But what if doing better was a simple as a light-bulb change, a reusable canvas grocery bag, recycling that soda can or a cold-water wash?
These eco-chicks just hope to have a little fun, learn a little more, share a lot of information and maybe make the planet a happier, greener, cleaner place.
What a great idea! I'm all for repurposing all this old junk we've got lying around.
Often, I imagine that they can use the parts of a few broken pieces of junk to make a working piece of junk.
