I have, and it wasn’t an easy conversation. When my wife and I were ready to buy a new computer, we called the customer service department of the manufacturer of our old laptop. We were basically told that they currently do not have a program in place to assist us. When I asked the rep what I should do with the computer, his response was, “Well, that’s your choice… you could hold on to it, throw it away or find a place that takes computers to recycle them.” Have you tried to contact the manufacturer of an electronic item you wanted to recycle?
