Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Timeless wisdom when it comes to waste issues.
Keeping stuff from being thrown away doesn't start with recycling. Find ways to reduce your trash. Look for ways to reuse or repair items that still function. Explore recyclable items that can't go into your blue bin.
Is your old X-Box gathering dust? Have a box full of old Sega cartridges? What about that stack of game DVDs that you haven't played in a while? You've come to the right place!
While you may no longer be interested in your old games, someone else may want to give them a try. Use the resources listed below to get your controllers, systems, and games to new homes.
What if it's broken?
If your games or systems are beyond repair, make sure to check out our Video Game Systems and DVD, CD Recycling pages.
