We love tech of all shapes and sizes around here, but over the past decade it\u2019s become increasingly obvious that our gadget fervor comes at a cost \u2014especially when it comes to the environment. Metal and plastic don\u2019t fully decompose over time, and almost everything we buy now has rare earth elements in it. But all is not lost as companies and consumers alike have become more cognizant of the problem, and offer possible solutions.<\/p>\n

On your end, this means disposing of your old products responsibly, allowing companies and governments to reuse some components and dispose of others in a safe manner. That means taking the things you can\u2019t give away or sell to a recycling center or, at the least, to a store that can pass it along for recycling. Check out our advice below on how to find a place that\u2019ll take your old phones, computers and other broken or outdated gadgets.<\/p>\n
