Best Buy Trade & Save

Did you know that you can trade in electronics at a partcipating Best Buy store or Online in order to receive a gift card for the value of your item (or, if it has no Trade-in value, have it recycled for free)? Pretty neat, eh? So if you have electronics lying around that you never use, you might check the trade-in value on the Best Buy website and see if you can trade it in and snag yourself something nifty ;-) or, at the very least, recycle it. I think that last part's particularly cool because sometimes you just don't know what to do with an old computer that you can't safely toss in the dumpster!

Pass Along Unneeded Items

Is there something that you just don't want to go to waste, but you're not sure how to give it away, or who to give it to?

Freeshare is a website that lists grassroots groups devoted to passing along and recycling usable items and keeping them out of landfills. There's also Foodshare, which is devoted to passing along perishable food items which might otherwise go to waste.
