Also do a google of computer part recycling for where you live there might be a drop off place that accepts those types of things every month. And Debbie i think maybe starting a curbside pickup program with volunteers is the way to go. having anyone that needs to drop off e-waste just place it at there curb and volunteers will go by and pick up the items, their could be a sign up sheet somehow, or an email to be sent to a certain person that heads this up so they would know who wanted to participate in it. I guess what im thinking is if there isn't an option for curbside toxic/e-waste pickups talk to your local council and see if others have this need as well. Something is bound to get started if enough people ask for it.

I tried to take it to Best Buy and they would not take it. It's funny how they will take back a PC which has a motherboard in it, but not the part. I don't know where to take it so it most likely will end up in the trash. All the places I search don't say anything about computer PARTS. We have other parts too that I will try to sell. If anyone knows of a place to take this motherboard, I would be very thankful. My son builds his own computers and he has a motherboard that is not working.

Not everyone has a car and not everyone can recycle their paint and phones etc. through recycle. In my area homes at least have blue garbage cans now for paper and tin/aluminum products. We have a recycling site for these also in the neighborhood which would be so convenient for paints etc. Why can't we make this happen in all neighborhoods or have a day once a week to also put these items in a cardboard box on top of our garbage cans for marked or flagged for pickup on a certain day.
