I hope this continues and people use this service when their electronics no longer function. I know I will! - Backgammon Fri, 15 Feb 2008 07:10:01 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/recycling/1157#comment-7751 I wouldn't really go for an older N64. There are so many things you can do with your money today ... online ordering would be one of them - Concerts Sun, 02 Dec 2007 02:32:35 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/recycling/1157#comment-7430 Even a new gamestore where I live still sells refurbed / pre-owned N64s! And we have NOTHING much here in the way of shops at all that sell anything I'd buy. There's plenty of online stores and always the usual auction sites where you can sell what have come to be termed retro consoles. Off the top of me 'ead I can't recall exactly-precisely, but I think the N64 is a good one to go for because with the adapter carts you can play imports and also older carts, like the SNES and NES carts. - zupakomputer Wed, 21 Nov 2007 12:45:57 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/recycling/1157#comment-7419 Sadly, they only take iPods from all over the world. At least according to the e-mail I recieved during my exchange with them yesterday. However, when I at some inevitable point upgrade to a newer iPod, I'll definitely send them my old one. - Magnulus Wed, 21 Nov 2007 01:27:45 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/recycling/1157#comment-7414 Magnulus-they take ipods, iphone, and gaming devices from all over the world. I wrote an article about them too. So, you can send them your "stuff" from the UK. What I like about this company is that they take [b]broken [/b] electronics and gives them a second life They even pays you for them as well. Also, another great recycling of electronics is www.secondrotation.com who pays you competitively for cell phones, laptops, navigation devices, and other assorted electronics and resells them. However, they do not pay you for broken electronics but recycles them. With so many choices available today, no one should pitch their electronics in the garbage. anna www.green-talk.com - Anna Hackjman Tue, 20 Nov 2007 21:04:15 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/recycling/1157#comment-7412 You didn't look at their website before making the crass suggestion that they're "building a utopian society and sanctuary for electronics from around the globe"? Then compound the mistake by saying they might be "chucking some of the highly toxic parts into the landfill". I don't want to offend the good people of EcoGeek but the definition I'd suggest for you is: One who is deficient in judgment, sense, or understanding. - weee recycling Tue, 20 Nov 2007 17:10:28 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/recycling/1157#comment-7410 I was curious myself so I sent them an e-mail instead of just walking around being skeptic. They sell it to third party resellers that put the stuff on eBay and other places. That's that answered for you. I think it's awesome, and I hope they'll make a UK branch. Hell, I wouldn't mind being their contact for a UK branch. ^_^ - Magnulus Tue, 20 Nov 2007 15:06:54 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/recycling/1157#comment-7408 Maybe because I'd like to verify that they are doing something environmentally friendly with it and not chucking some of the highly toxic parts into the landfill? And if the word is not 'skeptic', what is it? - EV Tue, 20 Nov 2007 15:00:26 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/recycling/1157#comment-7406 EV - why should you care what they do with it! As far as I'm concerned they can chuck it on ebay; the fact it's not going in land-fill is the first step. It's only with people like BuyMyTronics investing in better solutions to the current, unsustainable, throwaway (non)solution that we'll ever reduce the damage we do to our planet. The word for people like you is not skeptic! - weee recycling Tue, 20 Nov 2007 13:28:14 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/recycling/1157#comment-7405 [i]What do you do with the electronics I send you? Many wonderful things. We are actually building a utopian society and sanctuary for electronics from around the globe.[/i] Call me a skeptic for now. I think I'd also like to see their store that they sell the refurbished electronics in. - EV Tue, 20 Nov 2007 11:36:28 +0100
