e-Stewards

The e-Stewards organization aims to reduce electronic waste (e-waste) by working with companies and governments. Their site also has a Google map mashup showing the nearest e-Stewards recycler near you.

What's the difference between a plain recycler and an e-Stewards one?

"Certified e-Stewards recyclers adhere to the e-Stewards Standard for Responsible Recycling and Reuse of Electronic Equipment®; written by the environmental community with leaders in the industry to protect human health and the global environment."

In short,  the e-Stewards Certification is much more thorough in protecting the environment than other Recycling Certifications. Check out their site for the details.
