Earn extra money in January by recycling your gadgets

Everyone knows that January is one of the hardest months of the year in terms of cash flow, it can really give you the January-blues. You can earn extra money in January though by recycling your old cell phones, tablets, gadgets and electronic devices for cash. Not only will it put some fast cash in your pocket, it will also help the environment.

Christmas is the most expensive time of the year for most people, present buying, extra food and alcohol purchasing and time off work all contribute to you having less (or in some cases ‘no’) money in your pocket at the start of the year once the festive season is over. It is hard for many people but decluttering your old electronic devices can help you earn extra money in January and February in preparation for that next big event – Easter. Easter can be just as expensive as Christmas for a lot of people.

Fortunately, January is also the ideal time to earn extra money because many people get new gadgets and electronic devices as gifts during the festive period, meaning that there are old, outdated and obsolete ones that are just lying around on shelves and in drawers gathering dust, unlikely to ever be used again. Recycling these for cash is a no-brainer really, why wouldn’t you do it?!?
