Recycle old electrical equipment

If you are looking to recycle old electrical equipment you can take advantage of a number of buy-back programs. These offer consumers the opportunity to get money back for their electrical items, including mobile phones and small appliances. There are also several charity organisations that will happily take your unwanted items and give them a new life.

Some retailers have their own buy-back programs. For instance, Walmart and Best Buy offer customers the chance to trade in their used electronics. The retailer must then give the consumer a minimum of 24 hours' notice of when they will collect their old product.

Another way to recycle older electrical equipment is to donate it to a charity. Several charity organisations and online forums accept used electrical equipment for reuse.
