What to do with old computers, printers, etc? If you're like me, you have a number of computers and peripherals sitting in your garage. Finally a company has caught onto the opportunity to make a profit while helping the environment.

Staples is starting a program to recycle old computer equipment. It's relatively inexpensive ($10/item) and it's an expansion of their existing recycling program for cell phones. Here's the press release.

Just before you jump in your car and head over to your local Staples with your old laptop circa 1998, just remember a couple of things. First, check to see if your local Staples offers this service because it's not rolled out nationwide. Secong, remember to boot up the machine and wipe your hard drive. If you don't do that, you just might expose proprietary or personal information, that you'd prefer to keep private.
