IPods and Mp3s are considered electronic waste or e-waste and neeed to be disposed of through special e waste services. Gaming stores like EB Games will buy iPods from you. You won’t get money, but you will get store credits. If you are a gamer or you have children, this is a great alternative, especially if you are feeling guilty about constantly trading up your electronics!Alternatively, if your iPod or Mp3 is in good working order, sell it, give it to family or friends or donate it to a charity shop.
Much of the electronic waste discarded every year is still in working order, and can be reconditioned for further use. Those items no longer suitable for use are able to be recycled to extract valuable materials such as glass, metals and plastics reused, while eliminating the deposit of harmful toxins to the natural environment.
Most people don't realise what electronic or e waste is. E waste includes any electrical or battery powered electronic. For example, televisions, computers and computer accessories, and mobile phones. White goods are not classified as e waste.
