Rainmaker Tip: Recycle or donate unwanted items

Not only can you recycle your old clothes, batteries, cell phones and iPods but you can donate them to charities or organizations that matter. Here are some sources to help you get started.

Komputers 4 R Kids is a 501 c(3) public charity and a State Licensed Collector of e-waste. They ensure that computer systems are reused and recycled and that they benefit kids.

Cell Phones for Soldiers hopes to turn old cell phones into more than 12 million minutes of prepaid calling cards for U.S. troops stationed overseas in 2008. To do so, Cell Phones for Soldiers expects to collect 15,000 cell phones each month through a network of more than 3,000 collection sites across the country.

Customers can bring iPods they no longer want to any of Apple’s 100 retail stores in the US for free environmentally friendly disposal, and those who drop off an iPod, iPod mini or iPod photo will receive a 10 percent discount on the purchase of a new iPod that day.
