Tossing old computers and electronics in the trash is bad for the planet. Techno-Guru Lloyd gives a smarter alternative.

Some helpful e-cycling links:

Feel doubly good, as not only does this program recycle or refurbish your old wireless phones and equipment, it also uses the proceeds to support domestic violence prevention.
