Recycling is one of the most useful environmental practices around.
Since some items need special handing to be recycled and can’t be placed in your recycling box on trash pick-up day; here are some places that specialize in recycling computers, other electronics.

According to the EPA, recycling cuts global warming pollution by the equivalent of removing 39.6 million passenger cars from the road.
