Assessing the Risks of Buying Used Smart Home Gear Tech

Assessing the Risks of Buying Used Smart Home Gear

I am a big proponent of repurposing, reusing, and recycling electronics. Way too much electronic waste ends up in landfills where it poses environmental risks from the hazardous chemicals in the electronics ending up in the water supply.
