The Editor,

When there are so many opportunities available to recycle responsibly, why do people dump used electronics or furniture on the curb or put them in the garbage?

From organizations and companies that will pick up used items for free or a small fee, to newspapers and websites that advertise the availability of used items in good condition, to those looking to buy cheap, there are many avenues for people - with a little effort on their part - to responsibly get rid of items they no longer want.

It is really unsightly to see used electronics or furniture sitting on the curbside, sometimes indefinitely.

With concerns about the environment and deleting resources, no used electronics or furniture should be put in the garbage.
