As some who has moved my fair share of times, I consider myself a pseudo-move expert. Each time I find myself looking around at what I can get rid of, to save myself from moving it and then finding a spot for it the new place. However, I have been lugging a few items, which I would love to unload, with me from home to home simply because I can’t find a place to unload them. Electronics: TVs, computers, VCRs. You can’t (don’t want to) throw them away, and to my surprise most places won’t take them. I could probably put them up on Craig’s list, but they are all pretty outdated and not worth the time to do so.
As I prepare to move, yet again, I have new hope in unloading some of these electronics. I came across the recent announcement by Sony and Waste Management on a new nationwide electronics recycling program. The companies teamed up to provide consumers with locations across the country to recycle Sony electronic equipment at no charge. There is a market fee for other manufacturer’s equipment. The program kicks off September 15th, just in time for my move.

A practical idea to improve the environment instead of socialist fear mongering - Kudos to Sony - I just wish they would extend it to non-Sony items as well. I have been trying to dump my Commodore 64 for years (just kidding, I would never let that thing go).
