Over 400 million consumer electronics products—from computers to televisions to cell phones—are discarded every year in the United States. That’s over two million tons of potentially hazardous “e-waste,” only 12% of which is properly recycled. The Electronics TakeBack Coalition website will show you how and where to recycle your e-waste. It includes a list of responsible e-waste recyclers in your area as well as instructions on how to recycle your old computer for free through the manufacturer.

   I recently found your series of Simple Solutions, and I want to sincerely thank you for providing an interesting, helpful, valuable service to us homeowners who know more about working at a desk than working at a craft. The thing I really appreciate is the way your people can condense so much useful information into videos clips that usually last under two minutes. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

We want to hear from you! In addition to posting comments on articles and videos, you can also send your comments and questions to us on our contact page or at (800) 946-4420.
