Looking for a recycler to handle a home computer, vcr or other household electronic product?
In donating or recycling your outdated electronics, you encourage the safe management of their potentially hazardous components and support the recovery and reuse of valuable materials. You also help reduce the pollution and energy costs tied to the production of new electronics. In addition, you may put a computer, TV, or cell phone in the hands of someone who really needs it. |
See these sites for reuse and recycling opportunities:
 | TechSoup.org offers information on reuse to the general public and offers nonprofits free information, resources, and support for many of their technology needs. TechSoup works with their technology partners to provide nonprofits access to donated and discounted technology products through DiscounTech. |
