III. How to get rid of e-waste or technology trash?
1. Contact your local and state governments. Find out what your city, county and state have to offer in terms of electronics recycling programs. Some cities and counties have hazardous waste trash pick-up days where they will either pick up, or you can bring to them, any hazardous waste you have collected.
2. Contact the manufacturer of the equipment you no longer need and ask if it has a take-back or buy-back program. Major electronics retailers are now, in most cases, accepting most types of e-waste and technology trash, including old computers, cell phones and music players.
