How to Recycle your Old Electronic Items Responsibly this Holiday
Christmas is the season for exchanging gifts. People present toys, kitchen appliances, kitchen gadgets and power tools to loved ones to harbor in the holiday season. When new things come in, old ones naturally end up in the garbage or landfills.
In fact, in practically all countries, once the festive season is over, tons of electrical goods and Christmas lights are disposed of. The disposal of all this electrical waste has to be done carefully and responsibly for a clean environment.
The best way to do this is by disposing all electrical waste at the local government recycling facility or at one of the many recycling sites of your city. Another option is to return the good to the ship you had originally bought it from.
Send them to the manufacturers
Nowadays many electrical goods manufacturers collect discarded electrical items and recycle them together. This is a much better option for recycling old electronic items as the manufacturer knows what materials go into their electrical goods, and can dispose of them safely and carefully.
However if your old kitchen mixer or iron box is not actually in recycling condition, and can be used by someone else for some time, its better donating it to the needy. There are many organizations that accept such donations and will use your waste for some time before discarding them.
Sell it to a friend or relative
If your old mobile is in great condition, and you have received the latest mobile as a Christmas gift, you could consider selling the mobile to a friend or relative. They will be more than happy to buy the seldom used mobile phone at reduced and discounted rates from you.
Now that you have an idea of how to safely recycle your old electronic goods this Christmas, do your bit in making earth a safer place for future generations from this Christmas.
