Fire Up Google Maps and Recycle that Relic!

If you’re any kind of computer geek, there’s a good chance that you’ve got tons of non-working spare parts occupying a couple of boxes in your closet or basement. Heck, you probably have whole PCs that can’t crunch a single number.

Isn’t it about time to recycle them?

Nathan Kirsch of Legit Reviews shows us how easy it is to seek out a local recycling facility that will accept your old electronics.

Still looking for a better solution here in St. Louis Missouri I ran across a site called e-cycle St. Louis that lists local recycling centers. The site listed 11 recycling centers in the St. Louis area that are said to accept most items at no charge. A couple of items, such as computer monitors and TVs, may include a $5 fee. This fee is said to be necessary to help cover the safe and appropriate method of breaking down these items for recycling. One of the recycling centers was fairly close to where I live, so recycling is not much more work than throwing something away.

You might have to part with a few bucks, but think of all the storage space you reclaim and the good you’re doing the environment. Definitely worth it.
