"Dispose or Profit: Where to Send Your Unwanted Gadgets"

Recycling electronics is important for the environment, but it can be difficult to find a reputable center to take them. National chains like Best Buy, Staples, and Office Depot offer recycling programs, while manufacturers like Apple and Dell have their own programs. Cell phones can be recycled through Call2Recycle or donated to Cell Phones for Soldiers. Many states have laws requiring electronics recycling, with some offering free local programs.
