Content: Donate It
There are many charities, schools, and community centers that will happily accept working computers, printers, and other electronic devices. Others will take electronic devices in any condition to refurbish or recycle. You can start by looking locally, but there are also a number of national organizations to consider. These include Goodwill, Salvation Army, Recycling for Charities, and Komputers 4 Kids. They all accept donations, and may even provide a tax receipt! ThinkRecycle allows organizations to run drives for electronics and raise money for a cause, all while helping to remove a few more devices from the waste stream. Recycle It
For devices that no longer work or that are undesirable (like my old TV, when it finally meets its re-maker), recycling may be the only option. The best place to find out where to recycle your old electronics is the Environmental Protection Agency, which offers a great search tool for finding manufacturers and retailers that will take old stuff. Many do. The other option is to connect with a recycling program like Call2Recycle, Earth911, ECycling Center, Electronic Industries Alliance and GreenerGadgets.
