And it is that, whether it is a computer or a headset, it is quite possible that you can give them a second life, if not in your hands, in someone else’s who you give or sell it to.
It is important to try get the most out of everything you buy, and more electronics, which cost more to recycle than other types of items.
Put your devices to new use
When you stop using your mobile phone and buy a new one, it doesn’t have to be the end of the device you’ve been using until now, because if you don’t want to give it away you can give it an infinite number of uses to keep it alive in case you ever need it.
One of the best uses you can give it is as a remote control if it has an infrared sensor, since you can control the air conditioning from your TV, or use it as a mobile to go to the gym, in case of a breakdown.
It can also be a multimedia lifeguard, since you can use it to listen to music or watch videos on YouTube when you charge your main mobile.
If this happens to you with headphones, you can pair them with your tablet instead of your mobile so you don’t have to open Bluetooth settings every time you want to use headphones with your tablet.
resell them used
A good alternative to reuse is selling, with which you allow Letting someone else enjoy a device you won’t be using anymore and for which you can also get money.
It’s true that Android phones lose value faster than iPhones, but if you can get at least half of what the phone cost you, you’ll have already recouped some of the money you invested in it.
Take advantage of its components
Many electronic devices you buy come with some type of component that can be reused. A good example is the cable and charger that came with your mobile.
Headset pads are another great example, and if you take the trouble to collect all your cables, chargers, and other accessories in one place so they’re close at hand, you won’t waste time every time you you will need to search for them.
Tinker with your software
There are specific devices such as your mobile phone, tablet or computer that allow you to make changes in the software that can help give it a second life.
On your computer you can always put an ultra-light Linux distribution that does not load its components very much, and on your mobile or tablet you can do the same by installing a custom ROM, which can come to life in a mobile years after its last update.
