Hi guys,
(Also posting to DC404.)
We all love to get new tech gear. But, sometimes, we have to dispose of
it and sometimes it's hard to find a place to recycle it properly. I
found this link which might help. You can search by zipcode. I figured
this was something hackers should know.

Apparently most batteries plus stores will accept phones, electronics,
laptops, FL bulbs and some other stuff. I have some 4' FL tubes I have
to get rid of. I called the store and they said they charge about $
1.29 per tube. I think they also charge for CFL too, but Home Depot and
(I think) Lowes will take those for free. Best Buy also has a set of
recycling bins for small items and (I think) they also take CFL's.
I also found this facility on a bulletin from Forsyth Co. It lists an
Atlanta Company that can accept a large variety of household waste.

call on the phone. I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy
