5 Things You Didn't Know Your Old Gadget Could Do

4. Ask Local Authorities

Your local government officials should be able to point the way to government and private recycling facilities near you.  This way, you can save on transportation costs while saving the environment from the harm inflicted by your improperly disposed gadget.

5. Browse through the Internet

The Internet is a rich source of recycling organizations that will recycle your old units for you.  Often, you just need to ship it to them and let them take care of the rest.  And if you are lucky, you may even save on shipping and handling costs as some recyclers send vouchers and/or stamps for this purpose.  Look up FreeMesa, FreeCycle and Recycle It America, to name a few.
