Recycle Electronics

Because homeowners tend to get rid of old items when they make a move, I often hear questions about how to dispose of things. Here are some of the most popular ways to handle unwanted and gently used items:

* Have a garage sale. Advertise your sale in a local newspaper. Make sure to include your address and what time and days the sale will take place. Post directional signs at nearby key intersections. Put price tags on everything, but be flexible and ready to negotiate.
* Donate household items and clothes to a local charity. Call first to see if it will accept larger items such as refrigerators or couches. Obtain a receipt for your tax records.
* Recycle or donate electronic equipment to reduce the environmental impact of electronics disposal. Recycle TVs and monitors, computers, audio/video equipment, fax machines, and cell phones.
