OLD ELECTRONICS---CHECK BEFORE TOSSING

At last count, 25 states now have laws about disposal of old TVs, computers, keyboards, monitors, video game consoles, fax machines, VCRs, DVD players, satellite receivers, etc.  Instead of throwing such devices in the garbage, these states say they must be recycled at approved drop-off sites.  To check your state’s e-cycling law, go to www.electronicsrecycling.org and click on the “Laws” tab.  Reminder:  patient information is confidential, so wipe the hard drive clean before recycling.
