With camera technology improving all the time even as prices are falling, it seems that most of us have an older, no longer wanted camera or two sitting around the house. Instead of throwing yours into the garbage or recycling it, you can always donate it to a child and watch with satisfaction as another “camera buff” is born and begins to flourish.
Although that 5 year old digicam sitting on your shelf is yesterday’s technology, it probably still works quite well. Chances are you know a kid that would love to have it, and by giving it away you’ll be keeping it out of the landfill while putting a working camera into the hands of someone who will put it to good use.
