If you're upgrading to a new PC, don't just chuck your old one out. Donate it to a charity that refurbishes PCs and passes them on to organisations in the developing world. A quick search online will locate people who can take your PC for you (and anything else useable you want to get rid of) which is much better than it sitting looking sorry for itself under your desk as you take your new whizzy PC for a spin.
Hello!
For the Austinites out there, recycling electronic waste just got a little easier! The Student Engineering Council, at the University of Texas at Austin, is throwing an E-waste Drive on Saturday, March 28, 2009. Come donate any unwanted or old electronics to the drive and help prevent the accumulation of e-waste in landfills! Goodwill is generously offering its electronic recycling services by reselling any functional devices and recycling the rest. The collection point is going to be at the LBJ parking lot on campus from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more information on what items to bring or to volunteer, go to http://www.engr.utexas.edu/sec/service/index.html .
Hope some of you can make it!
