 * Everyday many Ipods are purchased, and everyday many of those are thrown into a landfill to sit for thousands of years polluting the ecosystems (4).I am sure many of you have an old Ipod that is sitting at home somewhere not being used, and you are getting ready to throw it out. But before you do, think. Isn't there a better way to get rid of something without harming the planet? Well there is, and this page shows you it.

 * Other pages || **Some other sites will buy parts of an Ipod or the whole thing from you**. I do not know if any of these sites are safe, but I have not seen any reason for them not being safe. The selling price has been any where between $20-$100. ||
