Reduce the use of toxics in your home... and responsibly dispose of what waste you do generate.

Computer Recycling How to get rid of old computers and electronics Usually once per year, a regional event is held at the Montshire in Norwich (organized by GUVSWD). In 2006, it will take place Saturday October 14th, 9:00am till 12:00 noon. GUVSWD District residents may use GUVSWD's computer recycling program.    Use other services/programs. As a last resort, computers and electronics can be put in the trash or in a scrap metal pile, see your normal trash service for information. Why Recycle Electronics? Electronics contain metals, plastic, and a few toxics that should be reclaimed rather than put in the landfill. Recycling your computer or TV is one of the things you can do to help stem the need for raw materials, and slow mining and drilling activity. Reuse creates 100 times more jobs per ton than landfilling them as trash, and recycling creates 10 times more jobs per ton. Sometimes electronics can be reused for parts or resold to folks who don't need the latest and greatest.
