Disposal of electronics?

You might try calling your local garbage disposal agency for information of how to dispose of such things in a green way.

If you have something that is still in good working order, you can always give it to Goodwill Industries, the Salvation Army or some such operation that runs thrift stores and can sell it. If it is dead, lots of the local “recycling” outfits seem to ship stuff off to landfills in Asia where kids poison themselves scrabbling over the trash to collect wire and parts they can resell for a few bucks a week.

Even my little rural town has a depot for recycling electronics. Your town may as well.

If it’s still in working condition, put it up in the Free section of Craigslist.

You’d be amazed at how many people will respond to “free”.

Just make it clear that if they flake out on the pickup time you two arrange, it goes to the next one on the list.

Sometimes creative people use them for found art projects.

If there are art college programs nearby, give them a call.

I’ve seen examples on DIY sites of those who make unique fish tanks from dead computers.

I’ve also attended an exhibition of art created from recycled tech stuff. Amazing what some creative minds can come up with. They have to get their raw materials from somewhere. Might as well be some of your useless stuff :)

@worriedguy Thank you for this link. I found about 170 for Australia, and applied to join my local group. I will blog this link.

@worriedguy Great link. Thanks for posting that. I just joined the Boston group.
