5 Things You Didn't Know Your Old Gadget Could Do

BANGALORE: Man’s greed for newer electronics is converting Earth into a hazardous e-waste dump yard.   On one hand, we have to possess the latest in information and communication technology in order to be part of the tech savvy world.  On the other hand, we have to throw away the obsolete consumer electronics we possess and, thereby become part of the destruction process of the world.

So, what will you do with your old gadget?  Recycling, of course!  And doing so is so easy that you can teach others to do the same.

Let’s take a look at some of the ways on how we can recycle our old gadgets:

1. Check with the Manufacturer

Some manufacturers will accept old units for recycling of re-usable parts and for proper disposal of the rest. Or you can trade-in your old gadget for a newer model, if the policies allow.

 Beware though, as some manufacturers accepting old units for recycling might have wicked interests behind their programs.  Doing a little research on the company’s environmental record is a good first step in determining whether you should recycle with them or not.
