Recycling electronics

This is something we struggle with all the time. Being a family of geeks, we have way too much obsolete electronic clutter around. We don't want to send it to a land fill, but sometimes you can't even give the stuff away, so it just piles up in the garage. This article from GreenLivingTips has several good resources for getting rid of old electronics.

I've used FreeCycle before and had great success getting rid of old computer components that were still functional, as well as other things. When I lived in College Station, the city had recycling days once or twice a year where you could bring in electronics and other hazardous materials, so always check with your local city services to see if they have a hazardous recycling program of some kind. I am not familiar with the other resources mentioned in the article, but will certainly be checking them out.
