Residential Recycling

Do you have used electronics that have taken up permanent residence in your basement or closet? Is the console television that hasn't worked since the Carter administration being used as a stand for your new flat panel television?

If you answered yes to either of the following questions it may be time to get rid of those obsolete pieces of electronics. As of January 1, 2012, it will be illegal for anyone to dump used electronics into landfill operations.
