Recycle Last Year’s Model Now That You Upgraded

What to do with that old tube TV now that you upgraded to the efficient flat screen? Or how about recycling old cell phones, printers or even large appliances?

Well across the nation there are many recycling centers set up to help properly dispose of our old gadgets. By properly recycling and disposing of old electronics or appliances, you are helping keep these items out of landfills where they could cause soil, water or air contamination.

In doing some research I just discovered that Best Buy offers electronics recycling. There are some standards they follow and you can check out all their program details here.

My local Waste Management Authority recently sent out an email about their upcoming recycling days. If you are in the Richmond area, you can check out the Central VA Waste Management Authority for more details.
