Overdue home appliances and more refurbished to return to the secondary market

"What business is done now is to do recycling, electrical appliances, paper, I have received," Lao Huang engaged in the recycling of used electrical appliances in the Haizhu District for several years, his identity with the local people in Guangzhou is "buy." Huang told reporters that the current price of the old electrical appliance market is basically "market price", "like the 29-inch color TV, recycling prices in the 70 to 100 yuan, more than 30 inches can add tens of dollars," the old Huang said that more and more people are recycling waste products.
