You own gold jewelry or gold coins and you’re sick of having them around your house. You want to get rid of junk like that but what do you do with it? It doesn’t make sense to just throw it away.

Here are three terrific ways that you can recycle gold jewelry and gold coins:

1. Pass it down. The best thing that you can do with these things is to give it to someone else who will use it and appreciate it more than you do. If it’s valuable, gift it to a friend. If it’s not, find someone young in the family who would enjoy using it for dress-up.
2. Sell it to a pawn shop. Pawn shops are great places to recycle your stuff. You can sell gold jewelry and gold coins to the shop, get some cash for your sale and know that the stuff will probably end up going to a good home.
3. Get it melted. If your gold isn’t worth anything as is then you might want to get it melted down and sell the metal itself. You still get a little bit of cash and the metal is recycled into something that can be used again in the future.

Almost everything these days can be re-used or recycled. Do this with your gold whenever you start clearing out your jewelry box.
