How To Find a Responsible Recycler
If you want to get rid of electronic equipment that you no longer use and want to protect the environment, the best way is to re-sell it or donate it if it still fairly new and in good shape. If the product is too old or no longer working, you should bring it to an environmentally responsible recycler. Some electronics recyclers operate under strict environmental controls and follow worker safety protections, but many other firms do not. Click on your state on the map above to find a responsible recycler in your state.
Can't find a recycler near you? Many computer manufacturers will take back your old equipment via mail. Dell will take back any Dell-brand products for free. Toshiba will take back their notebooks for free. Others charge a fee, but they will waive it if you are buying a new product. Many will give you trade-in credit towards future purchases. See our guide to company takeback programs, and how to use them.

The E-Waste Problem
Millions of computers, televisions and other electronic products become obsolete every year and less than 10% are collected for recycling, the rest are stored in homes and offices, disposed in landfills, burned in incinerators, or shipped to poor countries for dismantling under horrific conditions. Newer, faster, smaller, and cheaper products hit the market every day - all of them toxic, most of them designed for disposal rather than reuse and recycling. Learn more.
