Tips on Recycling Video Games

After purchasing a new video game console or video game, there may no longer be a need for the old one. Here are some options for disposal:

1. Trade in – If the system, controllers and games are in working condition, you can make money by selling them to a video game store. Earn money or credit toward future purchases, depending on the store.
2. Resell – “Classic” video games have become a new phenomenon, so those obsolete games may be of interest to a collector. Check out sites like Craigslist or eBay to see what is the going rate for your games.
3. Recycle – If the video game console or cartridge/disc no longer works, find a location to recycle it using Earth911. This way, toxic elements will be removed responsibly and metals and plastics can be reprocessed into new electronic products.
