    What do you do with your old gadgets?
     I recycle them through an electronics recycling service
     I give them away to Goodwill or a friend
     I sell them on eBay/Craigslist
     They're gathering dust in the back of my closet
     I throw them away (yikes!)

    WTVO/WQRF - Don't just throw your old computer monitor away, recycle it!  Each computer monitor has several pounds of lead inside the tube which needs to be removed before anything else can be done with the monitor.  Also, computer monitors are one of the few items of which every part is completely recyclable.
