They appraised for the $1 plus but I didn't care because they were going to be recycled, not thrown away! I'll keep taking my old electronics there just for that reason. Thanks for all the great info you pass on to us! After reading about this on your blog (last time) I went to my Radio Shack and turned in a computer monitor and a digital camera.

I gave our old phones to our local shelter and got tax credit for it and a good feeling that lasts longer than the phone did. also digital cameras are also useful for shelters and also fostering homes for the kids and the families ads often they have nothing to record or remem ber their lives with. or you could give them to your local abuse shelter for abused people to use.. it may only be $10 to you but its a life line to them – most recognised shelters/charities have deals with the phone companies for calling cards and reactivation codes etc so they are worth their weight in gold.

One of our local special needs groups also recycles electronics and uses the resulting funds to provide cell phones for emergency use, free of charge, to their special needs clients. We're given a receipt at the time of donation that we can use as a tax write off at the end of the year. Since I keep receipts on file (needed for warranties, etc.) once we donate an item I clip the purchase receipt to the donation slip so we can verify our initial purchase price and we're ready to go for tax time. Last year the charitable donations write off was worth it for us. Another thought.
