What's the Best Way to Recycle Old Tech in the US?

Posted by Zonk on from the reuse-for-reduction dept.

Tim Danhamn writes "SmartPlanet.com, a green-focused Web site, has put up an article about the best way to recycle your old tech, including local recycling centers and reusing old technology in other ways. I'm about to upgrade to a new PC and I have a lot of old radios, MP3 players and other electronic goods lying around the house. The article though is mostly about solutions in the UK, so I want to know - what is the best way to recycle old tech in the US?"

    what is the best way to recycle old tech in the US?

    EBay.

    Seriously, what better way to not trash something by getting what life (or parts) are left in it?

    People get some good money for hardly working/not working tech on EBay just for parts alone. And hell, you may have no use for that old P350 but someone else on there just might. Why not let them have it for a few bucks+shipping?
