Well, not new. I mean recycle something you have never recycled before. I am going to start with some of those old cell phones that I haven’t ever been able to figure out what to do with.
Secure The Call is a website you can use to do just that: recycle your cell phone. It’s not that they recycle it in that they don’t break it down. They repurpose it:
We’re a non-profit coalition of Police Departments, Sheriff’s Offices, Battered Women’s Shelters, Neighborhood Watch Groups, Community Service Organizations and Senior Citizen Centers. We take your donated phone and convert it into a 911 emergency only phone and give it back to our coalition partners for distribution.
If you don’t want to stop there and want to start to e-cycle the rest of your electronics, the EPA maintains partnerships with a whole bunch of retailers where you can take your stuff to discard of properly. The list is here.
Or maybe you want to donate your old computer to a school or organization that needs it. The National Christina Foundation is a not-for-profit dedicated to the support of training through donated equipment. You can donate your computer to them.
