If you’re like me, you have at least one old electronic gadget sitting unused in a drawer, closet or bureau. I think about getting rid of these gadgets during the occasional cleanup, but it takes some time to recycle them – and I know I’m not supposed to throw them in the trash – so I end up putting it off. And the computers and phones stay where they are, just gathering dust.
Gazelle could be the answer to an electronics-recycling procrastinator’s prayers. Okay, that might be a little dramatic. (I’m typing this at 36,000 turbulent feet, slightly sleepy a result of the wonderful GreenBiz VERGE DC conference for the past few days.) But in all seriousness, Gazelle CEO Israel Ganot – also founder and president — and his team have figured out a simple and elegant model for us to recommercialize our electronic products and – what’s more – get paid for doing so.
