Find Environmentally Friendly Electronics Recycling Centers Locally

Consumer electronics have different life spans (a smartphone’s is 18 months, while a TV's is more than 10 years) and first you should look to extend the life through resale or reuse. See if there’s a worthy home for your small or large electronic devices at a local school, retirement home or community center. You’d be surprised how valuable your old device might be to someone else.
