Hello one and all. I just wanted to let you know of where you can look to recycle all your old computers and electronic equipment. Why throw this stuff into our landfills and let the mercury run into our drinking water, not to mention our farm fields. And don't forget to recycle your old used CFL's (the swirl light bulbs) when they burn out. So here you go to find your local re-cycler:
