Techno Trash Disposal
"Techno
Trash"
"Techno trash" is used to describe all the
spent supplies and osolete accessories associated with computers and
electronics.
Techno trash includes pretty much everything
but
the computer
itself: storage devices, CD's, floppy disks, hard drives, Zip disks,
cell
phones, i-pods, empty print
cartridges, cables, cords, parts of
circuit boards, video tapes, PDA's, etc.
Please don't throw your
"techno trash" in the regular garbage
or recycling bins. Keep
these materials separate so we
can recycle
valuable resources, keep hazardous materials out of the landfill
and ensure protection of privacy since the recycling company shreds
the electronic media we send them.
