A new CNET survey shows 31 percent of Americans are hanging on to unused devices, and they could be worth money. Or, you could be helping someone else.
Trade it in: Your cell phone carrier or the phone manufacturers offer cash or credits toward new phones for old phones and laptops.
Sell it: Online classifieds can get you more than a trade-in.
Recycle: Some stores take devices to safely recycle them.
Donate: Working tech can go to nonprofits and charities.
Also remember to always wipe your personal data before selling, recycling or donating devices.
