Do you have old T-V's, or maybe a computer monitor that you're going to throw out?

I was in the basement and saw 3 old monitors, 2 old vcr's and an old scanner. I think we need to toss 'em.

Good news though--Wisconsin is one of the states where "Best Buy" is testing a free program to help you recycle old electronics.

They'll accept computer processors, computer monitors and t-v's with screens up to 32- inches.

They will *not* take console t-v's (big old tv's in a wood box that use to be a piece of furniture), air conditioners, or microwave ovens.

The store already accepts some electronics waste... like cell phones and empty ink-jet cartridges.

I have a nice, new Dell laptop now, which is very nice. I even added more memory to make it more responsive, adding an external 300GB Hard-Drive. My desktop computer caught an unrepairable virus and crashed on me, so i took out the graphics card, the RAM memory, and donated the 19" Benq monitor to my younger sister, in Atlanta. Recycling at it's best. She is so happy.

That is very cool that Best Buy is doing that.
They may benefit from it in the end.
Maybe they'll get parts they can use for repairs?
