Did you know you can fix, sell or recycle all your electronic gadgets?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Electrical devices come in a multitude of forms and many can be low cost these days – well, lower than they used to be – \u00a31 fairy lights, \u00a35 Bluetooth speakers and mobile phones from around \u00a315. Rather than getting them fixed when they break, we can be inclined to just bin the old to make room for the new.<\/p>\n

In fact, a new report from the UN has reported that e-waste is actually on the rise with electronic devices being binned at five times the rate of being recycled. While there is obvious pressure on manufacturers to increase their use of recycled materials and longevity in the products they produce, we can also play a part as consumers in making sure our electronics don\u2019t end up in landfill.<\/p>\n

And with 75% of adults without a proper plan for recycling their tech, according to a recent CNET study<\/a>, it\u2019s clear many people need to know what their options are.<\/p>\n

Why should I bother recycling or reselling old electricals?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

After years of rinsing out pasta jars, taking bottles to the bottle bank and flattening cardboard, you would be well within your rights to roll your eyes and wonder whether this is just another boring household job to add to the list. Aside from the fact that you could make a few bob for a charity or yourself, have a quick look at the below as you may feel that it is worth it in the long run – aside from the fact that no-one wants their old, broken, rusted chest freezer out the front of the house for more than 10 seconds.<\/p>\n
