This EarthDay, follow the steps to reduce the impact of tech — and save money in the process
Beware devices that use a lot of glue to hold components together instead of screws or snaps — that's a sign fixing it could be challenging.
To steer clear of the very cheapest options, LaGrange suggests that consumers check the model number of the TV they want."See if it's sold at any other time of year. And if it's not, it's probably cheaper and then you can't affordably repair that item."Tech Dump's twin organization, Tech Discounts, refurbishes used recent gadget models and sells them at a discount. Many nonprofits and online marketplaces do the same.
But they should do it fast, instead of letting old technology pile up, counsels LaGrange. She refers to the"pile of denial," where non-working electronics collect in a basement or garage for years. By the time someone donates them, they're often too old to be refurbished and can only be tossed.
