Going to the gym, saving more money, spending more time with your family…these are all good New Year’s Resolutions, but we at Wired Wisconsin have one more suggestion to add to your list: e-recycling.

Did you get a great, new gadget like an iPod Touch, Kindle, or a smartphone this past holiday season? Playing with the latest technology is fun, but don’t forget to recycle your out-dated electronics.

Thanks to the E-Waste Bill signed this past fall, e-recycling is a lot easier in Wisconsin. To find a location near you, try myGreenElectronics.org. Simply type in your zip code, and a Google map of nearby e-recycling locations will appear.

We also recommend going to Goodwill, a partner of ours. Goodwill Industries of Southeastern Wisconsin, South Central Wisconsin, and Northern Wisconsin all offer e-waste drop-off centers. This provides a convenient and environmentally safe solution to getting rid of your old electronics.

Here’s to a green New Year’s, everyone!
