Computer Components Recycling
Floppy disks, ink cartridges, CDs, cords, computer speakers and keyboards are accessories used only with computers. These items also should be properly handled to avoid excess e-waste. Some of these items contain materials that could easily be reused or recaptured. For example, computer cords and speakers are fairly standardized, meaning they can be used for a variety of computer models and makes. Other items cannot be easily transferred for reuse, like ink cartridges, but they can be refilled or recycled. Floppy disks and CDs are also unique in that some can be used over and over, but some have a one-time use (software and CD-Rs).

Where can I recycle 5 1/4 inch and 3 1/2 floppy disks? Where can I recycle old PC software where the software is stored on 5 1/4 inch and 3 1/2 floppy disks? I can no longer use or want to use this type of media.
