Technology Recycling Programs

When we are cleaning an office we will sometimes be asked to throw away an old computer monitor, keyboard, etc. I was wondering if there was an alternative to just throwing this technology into the trash which can release toxic chemicals and heavy metals into our land-fills. I did some research and came across a local company that recycles technology for business and residential customers.

I have no affiliation with Green-Tech Assets (http://www.greentechassets.com/), but if you have some old technology that you need to get rid of, I would encourage you get in touch with them or another company like them. The cool thing about this company is that they do not charge for these recycling services. They make their money by taking the equipment apart and re-selling the components or melting down to raw materials. From website, they don't export these materials to 3rd party countries, do not put the trash in land-fills, and do not incinerate. Pretty cool!
