The festive season is just around the corner and decorations plus refurnishing activities have begun in almost all households. You might be getting a new paint done or probably revamping the furniture or maybe re-arranging the items to make your home look new, fresh and stylish but wait, what about your old trash-like consumer durables and electronic items? Are you keeping them all with you? Well, that’s not a good idea! Here are a few tips on making your home décor waste-proof.

1. Stack them, but not at your home
Your old electronics like your TV, Refrigerator, AC or Washing Machine might be biting dust since a long time because you haven’t used it very often or because you’ve got a newer, more advanced one. That is surely not going to be used anymore and will do nothing but lay idle, use up your space and negate the beauty of your décor. We know you are much attached to it but if it’s not going to be used, it’s wise to sell it off at a good price.
2. Forget offline, Go online
So once you’ve decided to sell your old e-trash, you’d think of going to a kabadiwala or a local dealer. But beware; it will consume a lot of your time with a lot of painful negotiations. Even if it’s finally sold you will be unsatisfied because it will not be the price you were willing to sell it for. Best is to not wait and connect with online buyers of e-trash and they will give you good deals!
3. Cash on your oldies
You’ll have to carry your electronics all the way to the local dealer or kabadiwala which will cost you money, time and energy. You won’t have to go through these hassles if you choose to sell it online. You can get a good option of getting a free calculated quote on the web portal and they will come to your home to pick up the e-trash and give you instant cash with maximum value and without any negotiations.
Now, thinking what to do with the cash? Buy gifts for your loved ones or just relish some sweets for adding that extra space to your home and subtracting idle e-trash.
