Find a new home for your electronic device. Generally, if the device is in working condition, someone else may be able to use it. Here are some resources:
Options for donating:
| |
• Thrift stores and charities. Check with your local thrift stores and charities to find out whether they accept the type and condition of item you plan to give away.
• Giveaway sites. You can list your electronic device on sites such as freecycle where it will be posted online in your community and possibly picked up a neighbor who wants it.
|
Options for selling:
| |
• If the device isn't too old and is still in working condition (or repair is an option), another user might buy it through an ad in your local paper or an online service like Craig's list or an auction site like eBay.
|
Don't donate or sell your identity! If your device stores personal information, make sure you cancel any existing service and rid the device of all personally identifiable information that could be used for identity theft.
