Old electronics


Do you have a pile of old electronics you aren't sure what to do with? I do. It's not really a pile, it's contained in a cute storage box, but the principle still applies. I don't want to send these things to a landfill because I have no idea what's in them. For all I know, they could leach something toxic into the water supply or something. (Why no, I don't follow any conspiracy theories, but it sounds like I do, doesn't it?) Also, most of these unknown contents are encased in plastic--and I know that's recyclable. So what do I do with them? Here's a great article listing how you can recycle lots of different old electronics--some of them for free! (I have had a great experience with Gazelle.com and plan to use the other resources soon.) Thanks to Wired for the article!
