Recycle your old electronics
Not sure what to do with the A/V components you just upgraded? If they're not being used in another area of your house and if you can't get rid of them at a yard sale, don't just throw them into a dumpster. The Consumer Electronics Association wants you to dispose of them in an environmentally friendly manner, so it created the web site www.myGreenElectronics.org. You can search for places to recycle by typing in your zip code and narrow down the choices by adding what kind of A/V gear you're ditching. The site also features other eco-related resources, such as eBay's initiative to reuse electronics and a list of nonprofit organizations where you can donate your goods. Other companies such as Best Buy and Costco have also spearheaded recycling initiatives (Costco's even includes potential cash for your old stuff(. |
