I am trying to find a way to recycle some of my old broken electronics and also earn a little bit of cash on the side. Anyone have any ideas?

Depending on what you have, you may be able to recycle metals in them. Copper from wiring and some internal applications and silver from soldering and other applications may be recoverable.

I actually just recycled a ton of Copper from some old car parts. It helped quite a bit. Thanks!

Ebay - be sure you are clear that the items are not working, are "as is" and are for parts. There are people out there that are willing to pay shipping plus a small price for broken electronics, They either repair them or use the parts to repair others. You will not make very much; but, it does recycle the electronics and it is better than getting nothing back.

Thats very true, and I'm not expecting much off of my stuff. I just want to get rid of all of my useless junk and maybe get a little gas money off it. Thanks

There can be some dealers in the city you are living who buy old electronics, such as radios, TVs, computers, monitors, and so on. You might want to check that in your telephone directory, yellow pages. If just for recycling, places like Salvation Army will accept them too.

Your question had me intrigued because I have some old, broken electronics that I wouldn't mind recycling for some cash so I did a quick search. According to an article on ABC news there are two websites called Renew and buymytronics which both pay for old electronics. I don't know how good either site is because I've never used them before and I don't know if they have a minimum amount or if they might only be available for charities but it is worth a look and there are similiar companies that you'll find online.
