Disposing of Your Old Computer
Q: I am getting a new computer for the new school year. Is it OK to throw away my old computer and other computer accessories?
A: Absolutely not. Computers, computer accessories, and other electronics have loads of heavy metals, gases and other toxic substances including arsenic, barium and mercury that should be reclaimed by an authorized computer recycler and kept out of landfills. Older computer monitors and televisions are particularly harmful to our environment because of the lead they contain.

A handmade guitar can require many hours to craft, especially if one wants it to play as sweetly as its cherry lacquer shines.
