My collection of broken electronics, discharged batteries and empty laser toner cartridges has been taking up more and more room lately, so I finally decided to dispose of the properly. I thought I would share my research.

Laser Toner Cartridges: I chose Office Depot in Dublin. You can bring in 3 cartridges per day and you’ll get a coupon for $3 for each one. I know they take HP cartridges,

I’ve been carrying a dead scanner, router, and a box of dead batteries in the trunk of my car waiting for this event!
