If you are cleaning, weeding out old electronics, upgrading to a new flat screen tv, or buying a new computer, don't throw the old stuff in the trash! Many components in items such as televisions, computers, and cell phones can be recycled.
For more about electronics recycling, earth911.com has some great resources, as well as some scary statistics (that old tv in your basement can have 4 to 8 pounds of lead in it!).
A great (FREE) recycling option is to contact your local Goodwill. Many Goodwill locations will accept computer components, cell phones, televisions, and other appliances. To find out more, visit the Goodwill Reconnect site.
If your Goodwill doesn't offer this program, check with Best Buy. You can recycle tvs and computers for a $10 fee, but you get that money back in a Best Buy gift card.
Now I can look this up here next time I'm getting rid of tekkie junque and can't remember where I'm supposed to take it--thanks!
ReplyDeleteWonderful blog! I found it while surfing around on Yahoo News. Do you have any suggestions on how to get listed in Yahoo News? I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there! Appreciate it. Måtteservice Århus
