1. Contact the company that handles your normal trash pickup. Many trash companies partner with recycling firms to pick up and reclaim old computer and electronics equipment.
2. Check with the municipality where you live and ask if there's a bulk pickup program in place. Many towns establish a special pickup service for residents with old TVs, computers, monitors and printers.
3. Contact the county where you live. Even if bulk pickup is not available in your town, the county might have a facility where you can drop off your unwanted printers and other items.
4. Remove the inkjet cartridges from your printer before sending it off for recycling. Many charities collect these used ink cartridges to raise funds. Check with your local office supply store to find the nearest inkjet recycling program.
5. Pick up a copy of your local newspaper and look in the classified section. Look for the computers section and see if people want used printers and computer equipment. Many companies and some private citizens pick up old computer equipment and use it to create items for resale.
