Ever had one of your electronics break on you and knowing there's got to be some place to recycle it (instead of just tossing this once pricy item in the trash)? Gazelle.com is a company that first tries to reuse a product, then if the retail or wholesale channels they have don't work they find the right people to recycle the product.

Ever had one of your electronics break on you and knowing there’s got to be some place to recycle it (instead of just tossing this once pricy item in the trash)? When the lens to my old Nikon film camera broke I packed it away until I found someone or some company to recycle it. Thinking there would be plenty of places to recycle a broken lens I ended up only finding one (where I wouldn’t have to pay them money to recycle it). Gazelle.com My lens ended up being valued at $0 so they didn’t offer me any money or free shipping, but I am always willing to pay for shipping if it means the item gets reused or recycled.

 

About Gazelle.com

Gazelle.com is a company that first tries to reuse a product, then if the retail or wholesale channels they have don’t work they find the right people to recycle the product. The business started back in 2006 and they currently have more than 20 categories (see items below) of products that they recycle. If your product is valued $1 or more you get free shipping, and they might even give you money for your product.

The process was fairly easy:

  • Just type in the items you are trying to recycle in the search.
  • Select what type of condition its in
  • Give more basic information on it and what accesories you’d also be recycling
  • They’ll then let you know if they can offer you any money for the item
  • Then you “checkout” - your information is collected and you are given instructions on how to recycle your items and where to ship it to.

Came across this fantastic series the other day. It breaks down how recycling works. Might be a great series to show as you try and get the people around you to recycle more!

I know most people understand how to drop paper/plastic and metals in a bin and put it on the curb but it’s really interesting to see how it works out after the truck grabs your recyclables.
