Time For Spring Cleaning!

I decided to start out the New Year with a clean and clutter free house. I ended up with a pile of old electronic devices and cords that I was not sure how to get rid of.

Here are some recycling resources I found online:

• Electronictakeback.com A list of recyclers, some with fees and some with no fees
• Apple.com Takes back iPods and cellphones at no charge
• Collectivegood.com Takes all cellphones and PDAs, no charge
• rbrc.org Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation
• Freecycle.org Join a list service in your area to give away your old stuff
• cristina.org donates electronics to nonprofit groups, some of which teach disadvantaged people tech repair skills
  
• wirelessfoundation.org/CallToProtect takes cellphones (plus batteries and chargers), refurbishes them, and provides them as emergency lifelines for survivors of domestic violence
• earth911.org find a local drop-off recycling center to get rid of old Cathode-ray tube (CRT) TVs and computer monitors (CRTs can contains over 2 pounds of toxic lead)
• Staples stores - take electronic devices (except TVs) for recycling ($10 fee for large items)
• GreenDisk takes miscellaneous technology waste (CDs, tapes, games, digital cameras, cords, cables, VCRs...)
