E-Waste

What are you doing with all of your electronics that are outdated? Did you know that many of them have hazardous metals and gases in them that can contaminate the water shed?

Most towns have a place to drop of e-waste and with the price of gold, silver, and platinum so high, some companies in larger cities will even buy your old stuff to melt it down for the precious metals! (YAY! recycling)

Some big box retailers will even recycle old computers and phones for you, if it is a newer phone or music device, ebay and gazelle.com will buy them from you and pay for shipping to get it!

Also, that ink printer cartridge that you just replaced will be taken by the larger office supply stores, where they will refill them and they usually give you a discount on a new one with trade-in!

Old computer monitors make great fish tanks too!
