How to Recycle a Computer Monitor Keyboard and Mouse

A desktop computer and its various accessories, including the keyboard and mouse, should not simply be thrown into a dumpster or trash can when you no longer have any use of them.

How to Recycle Computer Memory 

Recycle old, out-of-use memory (RAM) chips from your desktop or laptop computer. Not only might you earn a little money in the process, you will be protecting the environment too, as memory chips contain toxic levels of lead. If you sell memory chips, do so as soon as possible after you replace them, because their value decreases over time. You can find many uses for old memory, because it's easy to install and relatively easy to find computers compatible with the memory you're most likely to have.
