E-waste disposal options

Getting a little more useful life out of your current computer, cell phone, tablet, printer, etc. can help reduce clutter, waste and resource use. However, when you're finally ready to upgrade that old computer or cell phone, the following resources can help you dispose of your e-waste responsibly.
Reuse
Extending the useful life of electronics is good for people and the planet! Some local programs where you can find a good home for your old tech items include the Salvation Army, Rescue Mission and Syracuse Freecycle group. Check out more reuse links at ocrra.org.
Recycling
Many businesses such as Best Buy and Verizon offer convenient recycling programs for cell phones and other tech items. For even more options, see the electronics recycling page at ocrra.org.
