electronics graveyard ?


My Linn Karik cd player expired this weekend as did the Technics SL10 linear tracker. I'll make an attempt to resurrect the Technics but the Karik seems to have laser problems. I also have a Sony ES player that is ready to go. Other than pitching them in the trash, is there a place that recycles electronics?
I don't feel a lot of remorse throwing a 59.00 video player in the trash but these pieces would be painful to see in the trash bin.

Like the other members have posted - sell it on Ebay for parts making an explicit disclosure in your ad.

Where I live there is a place where all county residents can take hazardous materials & dump them free of cost (free only if you are resident in that county). Materials such as motor oil, paint, other petroleum products, a wide variety of electronics, etc.
I have personally gone to this place & surrendered my old desktop computer, 2-3 very old laptops, an old vacuum cleaner just to name a few items.
In this area I believe that every county has such a recycling program. This gives people a proper place to dump hazardous materials such that it does not pollute our environment.
Check in your area - I'd be surprised if you do not have such county-driven program.....
My area does that too. About every six months they have e-waste collection for electronics. I beleive it is now illegal to put TVs and monitors in landfills, so they must be collected. I have seen a few dead CD players for sale here on the GON and at some used audio stores - i guess some people do buy them.
Yes, you can try ebay..or donate:
