Did anyone get new electronics for the holidays? I'm guessing that quite a few people will be saying yes. So now you have old electronics just sitting around It's time to think about recycling them—instead of just kicking them to the curb. Here are two websites where you can get rid of those electronics responsibly. Electronics TakeBack Coalition This website is focused on making the manufacture and disposal of electronics healthier for the workers, connsumers, and environment. You can read all about their programs on their website. And you can view or download a PDF of information on all the major electronics companies and their recycling programs put together by the Electronics TakeBack Coalition here. Gazelle

Check with your city's recycling programs! The Los Angeles Sanitation department has drop off centers where you can take all your old televisions, radios, small appliances, computers, batteries, and various other items. Rather than holding onto it thinking you'll fix/use it someday and it cluttering up your house, recycle! |

My DH and I called our church to see if they wanted our HP printer, we had gotten a new all in one scanner, printer, copier. They gladly accepted it, and it saved us the $20 fee that Staples wanted to recycle it. So if you are involved in a non profit you could ask them if they want it.
