Used, broken or unwanted computer and electronic equipment doesn't belong in the landfill - it must be disposed of in an environmentally responsible way.

Items still in working condition can be donated to agencies such as The Salvation Army - just call first to confirm. Check the Yellow Pages of the telephone book under Second Hand Store or Computers - some local businesses will buy used computers in working condition.
