can i recycle a laptop that doesnt work?

i have a laptop that doesnt work anymore is there such thing as recycling it?

Yes you can still recycle it, it could be used as scrap or some parts could be reused/sold

You could still sell the parts of the laptop to a computer shop near you
its actually better way than just throwing out and it may cost upto 50$ or more depending on the
laptop. :D

Its good decision to recycle

Contact your local Chamber of Commerce. Sometimes an Electronics Recycling company will contract with the city and set up one or two days at a shopping center or a parking lot somewhere where they will take the electronic equipment off your hands for free.

(Which really sounds weird, coz you know they’re making money doing this. But consider — it’s illegal to throw some of this stuff in the trash, and the landfill will charge you — so, go ahead and let ‘em make a buck, it saves you the hassle.)

Where I live, they usually have something going about every other month or so. But they don’t advertise on TV, so if you happen to miss the little signs (barely bigger than a garage sale sign) or you don’t find out otherwise, you’ll just miss the event.

and toshiba tablet 3g

toshiba tablet pc get I replaced a dead battery for a new one for a MacBook. How do I recycle it? Also, how long should I initially charge the new one?

(just a note to myself: you installed the new battery on 11/14 at 6:45pm)

Usually 18-24 hours is a good charge time for lithium-ion cells. Take the old one back to an Apple Store. They probably have a recycling program there. If not, your local recycling centre (a.k.a. the dump) will be able to accept it.

Bestbuy and most other electronics stores take them. Walmart too.
