Depending on where you are located, Best Buy has a recycling program <a href="http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Global-Promotions/Recycling-Electronics/pcmcat149900050025.c?id=pcmcat149900050025" rel="nofollow">http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Global-Promotions/Recycling-Elec...</a> You can bring your stuff into any store and recycle it for free, which I find a lot more convenient than my city / municipality (which has fees and / or only accepts certain items on certain days of the week or a few times per month for free).<p>I've used it and recommend it to my parents and friends. Also, I'm an employee...so forgive the shameless plug.
My condo building has a room for that purpose - unwanted electronics, hazards, clothes, furniture, appliances, etc. I just take it down there and they take care of the rest.
Your local municipality will probably provide some sort of service, as do some manufacturers or you could just put it on ebay/craigslist if it's still functional.
