I agree, far too many people - and businesses - simply dump old technology in the trash. They either don't know or don't care, or the inconvenience is simply too great. The single biggest trash problem on the planet right now is technology waste. The only way to fight that will be education and easy access to recycling facilities. Wendy Amy, thanks for the great comments! I agree, far too many people – and businesses – simply dump old technology in the trash.

Have you considered posting this article to the Suburban Journals? Here in North County/Florissant area, recycling is a hot topic/big contraversy right now with the trash district being divided up and monopolized, recycling fees, etc. It's all for the better in the end, though. My point is St. Louis County Health only occassionally sponsors recycling dropoffs for all of the items that need to be recycled (batteries, computers, TVs, etc) but can NEVER go in the new full size recycle bins. People need to be aware of opportunities and locations to recycle computers & such all the time. Otherwise, most will take the easy way out and put it in the general trash to end up in the landfill because your garbage can & garbage man don't say no! -Amy Michaelson Wendy,

I didn't know about that group. Just goes to show--there is no reason ever to waste a useable computer. Thanks! I didn’t know about that group.

They use equipment to train people how to re-enter the workforce after being homeless or incarcerated. Awesome post, Wendy. There is always someone out there who could use the help. - Jeremy Another local (St. Louis) group that will take donated computers is Connections to Success (http://connectionstosuccess.org/).
