Where do you throw away/recycle electronics?

Question

My family have old computer monitors, VCR places, keyboards, computer mouses, stereo systems, wires, etc.

Where do you get rid of all this?

Answer 1

It depends on where you live. The website www.ban.org has national information, www.texastakeback.com has Texas-based info, and if you're in Houston, just go to any Goodwill.

Answer 2

Go to this website: http://www.eiae.org/  and it will ask you for your state and etcetera and it will show you the location of the nearest municipal facility to which you can take/ship your e-waste to.

Around my community a recycling truck comes around a few times a week. If the same is true for you, perhaphs you could leave it out with your recycled material. Hope that you'll find a place!  

Answer 3

If they are still working, I would try and earn money on ebay, sell to friends, or have a garage sale. You can also help others by donating to charity!  That way they will have a new home and will not go to waste in a landfill.

If they are not working, then you need to find a recycling center that takes electronics. You can look in the phone book or internet. Some electronic stores will also take them but sometimes there is a fee. I would not toss in trash as all electronic equipment from cell phones to televisions contain toxins in them. I hope this helps
