do you get any cash back for all the cables and gadgets that you give for recycling.

Donation is not an answer. First REDUCE, REUSE and then donate or recycle. Normally I reuse and don’t buy cables for printers, MP3 players etc., when it is not supplied. Sometimes I use them as an extension (HDD case cable for laserjet). Also, reuse them for powering devices or DIY projects.

Great tips! Also, if you live in NYC, GrowNYC regularly hosts e-waste pick-ups at Greenmarkets, so check the schedule!
