Electronics should not be thrown in the trash because they contain harmful chemicals that can leach into the ground, contaminate freshwater supplies, and kill plant life. That said, if you have a bunch of electronics that you no longer use or are broken, you should recycle them. Before recycling any electronics, it is recommended that you wipe all storage or hard drives so that people cannot access confidential or personal information. Once your electronics have been erased, you can give them to recyclers, donate them, or sell them for a profit.
