I’m a proud geek. I love all things tech. I owned a Commodore 64 in 1982. I’m not always the first in line to get the newest product, but I do trade up, and often. Phones, computers, laptops, televisions… But with the desire and acquisition of the latest and greatest of new tech, comes the forgotten tech.
What do you do with your old tech? If you’re like many folks, you don’t know what to do with it. Know this; you can’t throw it in the trash. Most tech has toxic material that will be harmful to the environment, and plastic that just won’t break down. ( It’s illegal to chuck it in the trash in Indiana, BTW.)
I spent part of the evening going through old phones, PDA’s, lap tops, and monitors. What am I doing with all of it? My van is loaded up and I am headed to Electronics Recycle Day. <– That is a link to the recycle day information for Evansville, IN that will take place on Saturday May 14th.
Why not be a green geek, de-clutter your home or office, do some good for the earth, and get rid of the old tech by finding a recycle day near you?
