Clean Out Your Office . . . It’s the Right Thing to Do
Did you give your office or place a business a spring cleaning this year? If you didn’t, we would like to suggest that you give it a late-summer tidying up right now. You might discover some items that you can send to us for recycling. Depending on what you and your business do, you might be surprised to find some items like these that you can recycle for cash:
Those old printers and laptops that you aren’t using anymore could contain a few dollars’ worth of gold, silver, and other metals.
Those old phones, remotes, and other electronic devices contain gold, silver, and even copper that can put a few dollars in your pocket.
If you are in the manufacturing business, stockpiles of supplies like brazing rods, soldering fluxes, and other raw materials can be worth more than you expect.
So, Why Not Get Cleaning?
In addition to picking up a few dollars by recycling stuff that is lying around unused, your cleaning-out work can pay you back in ways that will surprise you:
You’ll get a fresh mental start that will allow you to refocus on the most important priorities you should tackle now, possibly some activities that you have been postponing.
You’ll enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that you have recycled materials in a way that is environmentally responsible.
You can donate or give supplies to people, charities and organizations that can use them now.
You can even itemize what you have given away and look forward to taking a tax deduction for them when next April rolls around.
You can sell more stuff than you probably expect on eBay and other platforms, which could put some needed cash in your pocket.
Want Some Inspiration? Watch Some Marie Kondo Videos
Over the last year, a Japanese woman named Marie Kondo has become a sensation, thanks to television programs and her video channel on YouTube.
This woman’s videos provide a lot of motivation for tidying up your spaces because she makes the process joyful, not tedious. She has the simple philosophy that if something you own is not bringing you joy, you should simply get rid of it. She even teaches some useful skills, like how to fold stuff for easier storage.
And if your tidying helps you set aside some precious metal scrap, give us a call at 800-426-2344 and we can give you an idea how much all that stuff you don’t want now is worth.
If simply getting rid of stuff doesn’t bring you the extreme joy that Ms. Kondo promises, getting some money for it just might.
