Here's a good profile of an entrepreneur who has figured out how to make use of your iPod that never seems to last more than two years.

Mosley, president and CEO of BuyMyTronics.com, is the brains behind a "trash for cash" concept that purchases used and, in some cases, broken electronics such as iPhones and iPods in exchange for money. The devices are fixed and later put up for bid on eBay or sold to other resellers.

This is the kind of start-up that can do well in a recessionary economy—high-tech but focused on helping people save.

I have looked at a lot of recycling websites for electronics and www.podrecycling.com offers the most cash for your used and even broken ipods.

buymytronics is an ok site, but I have found another to be even better if you have a smartphone to trade in. it's www.ibuysmartphones.com. Great service and pricing

Excellent idea for a business. Recycling will always be a great business in a developed society that continues to produce as much waste as we do.
Goes to show you that sometimes the best ideas are in the trash.
