This year for Christmas, Santa will likely be kind enough to bring many of us new electronics of some sort. But what do you do with all of your old electronics now that you have shiny new ones? 

For years, our economy worked in a linear way. Simply put, good were produced, sold, used and eventually discarded, typically ending up in a landfill.

But as demand has grown along with our reliance on plastics, metals and other materials that don’t easily degrade, landfills, well…became filled. And waste materials made their way into the ocean and created other environmental hazards. We are a consumer culture that buys more clothes and wears them for shorter and shorter durations and buy more and more appliances and technology that lasts or remains relevant for less and less time.

It’s time to hit the beach, grab a cold one, or have a backyard barbecue. But you know what time it is? It’s time to scrap.

Many of the items that come to mind when you think of summer can be scrapped to be both environmentally responsible and to put some cash in your pocket.

You go to great lengths to recycle everything from cardboard to plastic to glass, but what about old car parts? Even routine maintenance can generate waste. For instance, oil filters shouldn’t just be recycled – they must be. The law requires it. Here are some more car-related items you may not have thought to recycle – but you should!

Recycling has its rewards. It’s good for the environment and ensures that the metals and materials are responsibly reused or processed. But it can also be financially rewarding. Whether you’re a contractor who has left over metal from a job or a business with left over materials, you might be surprised at the value recycling can deliver to your wallet. Also worth note, clean or pure metals are always worth the most.
