Tips on Recycling Video Games
When you buy a new video game console or video game, you may no longer have a need for the old one. Here are some options for you:
- Trade Them In: If your system, controllers and games are in working condition, you can make money by selling them to a video game store. You can either earn money or credit toward future purchases, depending on the store.
- Resell Them: “Classic” video games have become a new phenomenon, so your 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.
- Recycle Them: If your video game console or cartridge/disc no longer works, make sure you 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.
