Answer 1

Start by checking with your local waste disposal department.  There are places that will take various electronics (computers, PDAs, VCRs, etc.) to recover precious metals like gold, copper, and palladium which can be used to manufacture new electronics.

Your waste disposal or recycling center may have certain days when they accept this type of waste to be recycled.  The Environmental Commission for my city has electronics recycling days every few months when they are able to fill multiple tractor trailers FULL of old electronics to be taken to the nearest electronic hardware recovery center.

Answer 2

I recycle all my email, and computer files.
