5 Things You Can Recycle For Cash

Recycling Things For Cash

Recycling is not only great for the Environment but you can raise money doing it these days as well. There are many different types of things you can recycle for Cash. Many things around your home you probably don’t realise that you don’t even use anymore.

This is actually big business now but how many times have you replaced an electrical product around the home? Think back to all the times your toaster may have croaked it or you may have thrown away or lost an old mobile phone that didn’t work any more. Well this happens millions of times over for millions of electrical products and their electrical based counterparts. They say that only around 4% of the 1.3 Billion mobile phones in circulation are actually recycled. The rest are thrown away or end up in landfill sites somehow. Which as we all know now can have a damaging effect on the Environment. Toasters, Kettles, old TV’s, hair dryers, mobile phones, Games and Games Consoles. From old music CD’s and DVD’s to Console Games for the Play Station 1,2 or 3. XBox and XBox 360 games and Nintendo Wii games etc etc. All these types of things can all be recycled. And you can get cash for recycling them too as seen in a post we made similar to this showing how to recycle things for money.

There are other things that you can recycle for cash as well. Many people are searching for things to recycle for cash online and here we will list some of the main things you can recycle to get cash for your old things here. Coincidentally this is also a great way to raise some extra cash for Christmas this year if you need it. Either way I hope you have a good one.

Listing which one will buy what from you exactly to how that site works. See the three top companies online that will here in our Recycling Things For Cash post but if you want to Sell and Recycle Console Games (or Mobile Phones) . Old CDs, DVDs, Games, Films & Music then Music Magpie will purchase them from you for a Cheque payment as long as their in decent condition.

3. Recycle Digital Cameras, iPods and MP3 Players

These types of electrical gadgets are in high demand by the recycling sites and they give fairly good prices so it’s a good way to make some cash recycling. See the Green Tec Review. They pay by Cheque or Direct bank transfer in days with fast order tracking and return your things to you if they offer a different price and you don’t agree. Good because some of these types of items can fetch up to hundreds of pounds.

4. Recycle Games and Games Consoles for Cash
Talking of selling and Recycling Games and Consoles, you can recycle your unwanted Games and Games Consoles for Cash or Credit to Trade Your Stuff who will give you Cash or Credits for Play Station’s, PS2′s, PS3′s Xbox’s, Xbox360′s. Nintendo’s and Wii’s, DSI’s, Sony PSP’s and Video Console Games etc. You can buy Games at some of the lowest prices to and from Trade Your Stuff as well as recycle them and you can recycle your unwanted Games for Cash or Credit or do both and buy and sell to them in the same cart. So if you’ve got a bunch of old Games Console Games list them to be recycled for Cash on Trade Your Stuff or trade them in for new games as well.

5. Recycling Ink Jet Cartridges for Cash
Only 15% of 60 million printer cartridges sold in the UK are recycled. You’ve always been able to recycle old computer printer inkjet cartrides. Or at the least get them refilled. But if you are one of the types of people that has a lot of old spent or used inkjet cartridges lying around. Or can get hold of old inkjet cartridges then you could recycle them all for cash. You can get up to £1 pound per cartridge through some recycling sites such as Mobile Phone Xchange who we’ve reviewed before as buying inkjet cartridges for cash. And the same as who also do and Mobile Cash Monster and Money 4Ur Mobile. Who all the same pay £1.00 for an old used inkjet cartridges for Canon, Hewlett Packard, Lexmark, Samsung or Philips printers and more. Beware of sites that claim they pay up to £4 or £5 pound for your old ink cartridges. Although there are genuine USA based sites that pay up to $4 dollars or so, this is for UK based recycling only really.

I hope this list proves to be useful for you it is hoped so anyway to help the Environment for our future.. Please feel free to add any other ideas you may have in a comment below.
