Did you get
a shiny new technology upgrade this year?
Even if a bigger, brighter, flatter
tv isn’t in your immediate future, you may have the need to dispose of some old
electronics. What is the best way to get
rid of old electronics?
Donating
your older device to a family or community member is a great option. Websites
such as Freecycle
and 2good2Toss
are available for posting unwanted items. But if you’ve got them rolling around
in your back seat and want to simply drop them off, it is easy and free to recycle electronics safely.
Thurston
County Solid Waste has a wonderful online resource called, “Where do I take my.”
It tells you where to recycle almost everything that you can think of!
The
locations listed below recycle electronic products such as TVs, computers
(desktop and laptop), monitors, E-readers (like a Kindle or Nook), and DVD/Blu-ray
players for FREE.
- Staples
- Office Depot
- Best Buy
- Goodwill
- Free Geek Olympia
- Office Depot
- Value Village
- Staples
- RadioShack
- Batteries Plus
Cell phones
can go to many of the above listed locations for recycling. Most service providers (Verizon, AT&T,
T-Mobile, etc) also accept them and donate them to charity or survivors of
domestic abuse.
Upgrades can
be fun, just make sure that you donate or recycle the downgrades!
