Recycling ROI
Most people think of recycling as something they “ought” to do to help conserve natural resources. But maybe we should start thinking of it in terms of ROI. That business school term for “return on investment” takes on a whole new meaning in light of a recent Nielsen/eBay survey found that found that the average U.S. household has 52 unused items worth more than $3,100, just gathering dust.
So just what is the clutter in your home worth? You just may might be surprised at the value you could get by recycling your unwanted items by reselling them on eBay.
Here are some items that were unused by North Texas residents until they were sold by Easysale within the past two weeks.

To find out if your clutter should be resold or recycled, call or come by an Easysale location in Addison, Arlington, Dallas, Plano or Southlake. If you have only a few small items, you may prefer to come by the store to get a pre-auction estimate from one of the listing professionals at Easysale.
“But if you have a storage unit, or a number of items such as furniture, exercise equipment, or home electronics, we’ll schedule a time to come to your home and evaluate what you have to sell,” says David Goldstein, vice president of marketing at Easysale. “If you decide to consign it to us for resale, we’ll load it up and take it away with us on the spot.”
