Sorry I didn’t get this out sooner, since many of your probably have pkans already for tomorrow. But if your happen to be cleaning out your house and don’t know what to do with those old electronics that have been collecting dust and space in your basement/garage/attic/etc, it would be a good idea to head downtown to get rid of your toxic waste correctly and safely.

Some of the bigger items will cost you some money, but that’s what being an ethical consumer is about, right? Actually, California makes purchasers pay for e-waste recycling. Under its law, customers are charged between $8 and $25 above the price of TVs, computer monitors, laptop computers and portable DVD player that will pay for safe recycling.

Just like Kermit, It’s not easy being green…or cheap. But we will pay for it eventually if we don’t start taking ethical consumerism seriously.

Here is a map to get you there.
