Get It Together: Discard Old Electronics & Cords

Get It Together is a series of small tasks you can do to help get your home and life back in order. Each task is meant to only take 15 minutes or less to complete. Get ready, get set, get it together!


Discard Old Electronics & Cords
  • Do you have a stash of old electronics and/or cords? It's time to donate, sell, or trash them!
  • Gather old electronics you no longer use - think cell phones, tablets, laptops, keyboards, mice, cameras, MP3 players, etc. Also gather old cords that you no longer use - USB, power cords, etc.
  • If you're looking to donate and the items are still in good working order, you may want to check at a local school to see if they're interested in the donation. Primary grades use keyboards for kids to practice "typing", even if they're not hooked up to a computer. Cameras can be used in class. MP3 players can become listening centers for audiobooks.
  • If you're looking to get some cash for your gently used electronics, check out some of the following websites. I've used them all in the past.

    NextWorth

  • Bonus: Clean out your VHS, DVD, BluRay, CD, book, and video game collections as well, if you have the time. Sell items on eBay, Half.com, Craigslist, or local classifieds. You could also donate these items if you don't care to sell them. :)
