Hidden in most American homes is a dead electronics corner.
In our case the corner was a closet, jammed with 2 vintage Imacs, 2 monitors and 4 wrecked laptops, one of which was circa 1989 and roughly the size of a Smart Car.
Not wanting to dump it all in a landfill, we warehoused the pile of junk for a few years, till we heard about the Staples recycling program for used computers and monitors.
For a $10 fee per item, we handed Staples our cast-offs and gained about 4 square feet of space in our overstuffed apartment, and that’s what we call a win-win.
Staples will also recycle smaller devices such as cell phones, pagers and digital cameras for free, and you can earn $3 in Staples Rewards if you sign on for their ink and toner recycling program.
