Hazardous Household Waste

I was just out in the garage trying to better organize my tangle of cords and computer parts I am not using right now. It’s a bit of a mess. I left a lot behind for my ex husband when I moved this past summer, but I do believe I brought just as much with me. There are monitors, old PCs and even my old Mac G3, which would be a fine old thing for some of my design work if I would just take it in for a power supply repair.
I think the biggest reason that I am keeping so many old computer parts is that I have been reading more and more about how unwise it is to jump electronics into the landfills. We need to dispose of these things properly, and I am not always sure how to do that. Our county does have a day, several times a year, which you can go to a centralized location and drop off hazardous household waste like computers, TVs, stereos, telephones, transformers, batteries, fluorescent lamps and ballasts, and the like. They also have a webpage that lists companies that will pick up, for a fee, hazardous items.
