Another option for donating computer equipment is Team Children (www.teamchildren.com) in Trooper. They refurbish the computers and provide them at a very low cost to families/children that need them. I have donated several computers, monitors, mice, etc. to them over the past few years. And they do provide a letter that provides justification for a tax write-off.

Great idea, Heather. Most opportune, as I was going to sell some equipment, but this looks like a much better choice.

Not for nothing but if you simply put this stuff in a heavy duty black trash bag in your can, they will take it. Do you really think the garbage man is going to start ripping open bags looking for this stuff?

Not suggesting that people do this though. Recycling is always the best bet.

Saturday January 12 from 10-2PM you can bring recycling electronics to the Valley Green Bank in Chestnut Hill. There is absolutely NO REASON to put them in the trash! Let's all please act responsibly for the sake of our environment.

I usually just try to find a dumpster at night to dispose of stuff like this.

No one can force anyone to recycle. There are always ways to get around it.

But, other than the benefits of not filling our landfills, the DEP says the reason for the electronic recycling is that parts of these products, if not properly handled, can become hazardous waste.

I tried to take my old televisions to Goodwill in Berwyn, but was told they no longer accept television donations. Ended up recycling them at Best Buy in KOP.
