It might seem like technology is something that people will use for a long time, but many people want to acquire the trendiest version. A lot of people do not know how to reuse or re-purpose these gadgets, and others do not want to see their old models at all. By throwing away antiquated technology into the garbage, it creates many more problems than what some people might think. In these gadgets, there are materials that are toxic when released. Some of these materials include beryllium, chromium, and lead. When all of these toxic materials are gathered into one large pile, it creates a hazardous environment around there. The toxic materials make the area of devices worse than a junkyard of non electronic gadgets. On top of the toxic waste being released, there are precious limited resources used in every device. Silver, gold, and platinum are all  used in creating electronic technology. When every device is thrown away, more and more of their limited supply dwindles. Some day, there will not be enough, and there will be no new iPhone, iPad, or computer. Other than recycling, there are many ways that we can stop this from happening. The generous thing to do is to donate them to people who cannot afford them. Another way is to sell them. There are a numerous number of organisations that allow you to sell your iPhone for money. Apple even has an option to receive an apple gift card for your old phone. If giving old gadgets away is not an option, there are brilliant ways to re-purpose old technology.
