You can earn extra cash this summer by selling junk items to a recycling center. These facilities disassemble and retrieve salvageable parts from appliances and equipment and sell them for cash as either scrap metal or spare parts. Sell your old or rusted appliances, preferably ones made from significant quantities of aluminum, steel, or copper, and get some cash for summertime fun—or a replacement appliance. Here are five good examples of summer items that can fetch decent money:

  • Old Lawn & Garden Equipment: Summer is the best time of year for you to tend to your yard. If you own rusted shears and shovels or a lawnmower that no longer works, they are not worth the space they are occupying. Sell them and use the money to upgrade your lawn maintenance equipment.

  • recycling centerMalfunctioning Air Conditioning Units: This is the season when you’ll need your air conditioner the most. If your unit is beyond repair, consider bringing it to a recycling center. The money you get can help pay for a new air conditioner to keep you from suffering through intolerable heat.

  • Rusting Outdoor Gym Equipment: Many people binge during winter, relax in spring, and get back into shape during summer. If you have an outdoor gym set that has rusted from months of neglect, now is the time to sell it and get a new one. Rust renders some gym equipment useless and may even compromise your safety.

  • Junk Vehicles: Don’t get left behind while all of your friends go on a vacation. If you have a junk vehicle in your garage, have it towed to a car recycling center and you might just get enough money to pay for an out-of-town trip. At the very least, you’ll be rid of a big dust collector that only attracts pests.
