3. Look on-line for various options for recycle (check sources). There are a lot!

Tips

• Even if it isn't working, it could still have life in it. Don't be afraid to post it in message groups. Especially machinery, there are lots of people who like to fix things or even tear them completely down for parts!

Warnings

• Be sure that you want to get rid of it. You can get on a 'giving frenzy' and get rid of something and find out that you really DID want to keep it later!
