How to Recycle Computer Cards
Recycling your old computer cards benefits the environment and helps to reduce waste that ends up in our landfills. If you are upgrading the video card in your computer or replacing a burnt out graphics card, do not throw away your old card. Finding a recycling center that accepts electronics and their accessories does not take much time and can even be profitable in some areas.

Bring your computer card to your local electronic store such as Best Buy, Apple or Radio Shack. Depending on the store and the condition of your computer card, you may even receive store credit or a store gift card for recycling the card. If the store cannot use your computer card in another computer, they will send it off to be recycled.

These websites will provide you with a list of locations that accept electronic type items for recycling.
