Some old electronics stuff is worth a lot of money; some is worth nothing. You can be sure someone at Pest Buy is snagging anything good that comes in, sells it, and pockets the money.
Do research before you dump.

Good point.
I worked for one of those electronics recycling and resale outfits.
Crooks.
They’re good at snagging personal info off your old stuff. Best to use it for target practice and toss it in the garbage.
The research is complete.
You have old unused and perhaps unusable electronics headed for the landfill when someone offers to take it off your hands and keep it out of the landfill.
If someone takes what you dispose of and sell it for $1,000 you are not out a single cent.
Recycle.org is another way.
and some worth only a small amount ... we have a local outfit that pays by the pound for circuit boards and other clean electronic components because they resell this stuff to mills that extract out the valuable metals in the solder, wires, heat sinks, etc. ... i end up with lots of obsolete electronics from customers and just for fun, i extract the electronics, toss the plastic, and save up boxes of the boards in my barn, which i periodically sell to the recycler ...
