Gazelle
Ever wonder what to do with all those electronics and small appliances you have at home but just can't bear to throw away? (Or perhaps feel too ecologically responsible to!)
A website called Gazelle can help you out. The brainchild of two young entrepreneurs who both wondered, "How come I have to PAY to get rid of my unwanted/unneeded stuff?" "Gazelle has grown to be the nation’s largest electronics reCommerce company, saving more than 100,000 gadgets each year. But this isn’t just about preventing e-Waste. This is about changing the way we all think about buying, owning, selling, and recycling. We are working, together with you, to bring about smarter consumption."
The basics are simple. You find out what stuff you have - get the model and serial number. Access Gazelle. Enter the products you have.
They'll hook you up with a buyer, if one is available. If nobody wants to buy it, someone may take it off your hands - and depending on what the item is, Gazelle might even help you with the shipping cost.
There are basically 22 categories of "stuff" that Gazelle will help you recycle:
It's sort of like selling your stuff on eBay or CraigsList, but facilitated. Just making it easier for you to do the right thing - and maybe earn a little cash while you're at it!
