Answer 1

You cant just thrrow them away they have dangerous chemicals inside them. The following link should be able to help you find a proper place for it: http://www.earth911.org/master.asp?s=lib&a=electronics/comp_index.asp

Answer 2

If you really want to throw it away, the proper place to dispose of it is at a local garbage dump. Just like with toxic chemicals, oils, grease, and tires, there are certain things in the computer that will not decompose. You might have to pay a few bucks, but most likely you can just drop it off or have the garbage guy pick it up.

Answer 3

Put them out by the front curb on trash day, someone took ours in 8 mintues!!
Go to a dumpster and toss it in!

there is no proper way, just set it out with your garbage on tash collection day, and believe me, someone will take it for the parts. lot's of trash pickers. just set it out in an alley or behind a bar.

appliances are called "white items" small appliances get picked up by the regular garbage service usually twice a month on a certain day of the week, look on your local township webpage
