Real Simple's September 2008 issue has the most comprehensive article I've ever seen on recycling -
How to Recycle Anything. It's best to read online so you can follow the links, because each item they highlight has it's own unique non-profit or service that does the recycling. It's a lot of information, and again, you have to be really resourceful and have a ton of time to pull batteries out, tear magazines apart, ship shoes back to the manufacturer, drop off cell phones, lightbulbs and scrap metal (at 3 different places) and send eyeglasses and formal wear to the needy. But it's a good list of resources.
I'm definitely going to take my first generation iPod to the Apple store to be recycled so I can collect my
10% discount on my next iPod. Although, if my next iPod is actually an iPhone, do I still get the discount?
