So your 12-year-old niece isn’t interested in your old iPod (she already has an iPhone) and your mother-in-law has declined to take your Dell Dimension (you learn she uses a ThinkPad), so what do you do with your old computer/IT stuff? Well. recycling old electronic equipment is not only earth-friendly, it can in some cases earn you a few bucks as well.Earth911 has a pretty cool site (http://search.earth911.com/) that asks what you want to recycle and what zipcode you’re in – Best Buy is a popular one near us in 34th Street and Fifth Avenue.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has a site (http://www.epa.gov/epawaste/partnerships/plugin/partners.htm) that can be helpful as well for recycling information
Apple products (computers, iPods, iPhones, etc) can be recycled through the company (http://www.apple.com/recycling/), which, if they have some value, will give you a gift card or a price reduction.
