| Put it on the to-do list! |
In my commitment to go through every closet and drawer before the months end, this was the last area to get done. Other than matching the various parts to each cell phone, I didn't have a clue what most of the other items were for or if they were needed. I solicited some help and in no time my husband had it all cleared out.

| Into the donations box these went. |
All the cell phones and one desktop computer were dropped off to our local Goodwill, who will properly recycle these items with various partners including Dell. There are many other options and great organizations where you can donate or recycle these items that can all be found via Google.

| Our son is a sophomore in college and only uses a laptop. He's asked for 2 years to have this removed from the desk in his room. I am sure he will be happy to see when he comes home on his next break that we were listening, even if it took a ridiculously long time! |
I also recently noticed Best Buy has designated recycle bins in the lobbies of their stores. Not only will you enjoy that extra drawer space, but feel good knowing someone will use these items and/or that were properly disposed!
We're lucky here in the country because everything gets recycled right down to those plastic screw on lids on everything from toothpaste to juice. Plastic to go containers, everything you can think of, recycled. Only draw back is there is no trash collection in the country so you have to haul everything to the recycling center. TThat's why I own a truck!

I hope you made sure the phones were clear of your personal info and the computer too. I have gotten rid of several computers after making sure the hard drive was destroyed. It's always a great feeling getting rid of that stuff! Can you believe it's Feb already?

Strange...was leaving a comment and poof the screen went blank! Thanks for this...having just moved I have boxes and boxes of old but working chargers, cell phones, odd and end electronics but couldn't bring myself to chuck them, now I will put them in a box and give them to Goodwill and I will feel so much better knowing they are going to people who can use them and need them. THANKS!
