Gcycle Your Tech

In the back corner of her attic,

my friend had a secret,

an old, dusty, and potentially dangerous secret.

A secret few of us know how to deal with...

Unused, obsolete, and broken technology.

Two old laptops, a broken monitor, an ancient CPU, and a few lonely mice were clustered together in this dark, dismal corner.

Why did these items lie buried in her attic?

Because she knew she shouldn't send them to the landfill, but she simply did not know what to do with them.

So, she kept them...
and kept them...
and kept them.

But now there is a solution!

The cable channel G4 "has teamed up with Earth 911 to make recycling our old electronics as easy as possible." Simply visit www.gcycle.org and enter your zip code to find locations near you that will take your old stuff and safely recycle it.
