Here's a handy list of places to recycling your electronic gear, besides at the Recycling Jackson site.

[A big thanks to former Recycling Jackson president Travis Fojtasek for help with the list!]

Takes back used Apple gear (iPods, Macs, etc.)

> Hewlett-Packard
Recycles PCs, printer cartridges, cell phones, and more.

> Toshiba

> Best Buy and IKEA
Both retailers have drop-off locations for used electronic gear.

> Plug In to E-Cycling
Environmental Protection Agency hooks up with manufacturers and retailers for donating e-waste.

> Collective Good
Donate cell phones, pagers, and PDAs to charities.

> Battery Solutions

> Rapid Refill Ink
Neat store in the Jackson area that refills ink cartridges for about half the price of a new one. Great way to reduse and save!

> Goodwill Industries
Goodwill has partnered with Dell to take back computer e-waste and peripherals for free. Just drop it off during business hours.
