Household items and clothing can be taken to Goodwill or other charities and there are several organizations that want material that can be used for art projects. Safely disposing of unwanted high-tech gear and related waste—plastic packing materials, dead batteries and old CDs—requires a little more initiative. </p> <p> Here is a list of web sites and organizations that can assist you in your recycling efforts. ALWAYS contact an organization before sending or dropping off materials, to be sure the information resented here is still current. </p> <ul> <li> <a href="#" onClick="openPopUpWin('http://www.sfenvironment.org/',800,800,1);return false;"> San Francisco Department of the Environment </a> —Information about local recycling programs and hazardous waste pick-up and drop-off. </li> <li> <a href="#" onClick="openPopUpWin('http://www.sfrecycling.com/',800,800,1);return false;"> Sunset Scavenger Company </a> —San Francisco Residential Recycling Program, Organic Waste Program (compostable materials) and the Bulky-Items Collection Program (San Francisco residents can schedule a pick-up of computers, TVs, mattresses and other large items twice a year—free of charge to residents of buildings with ﬁve or fewer units). </li> <li> <a href="#" onClick="openPopUpWin('http://www.recyclestuff.org/',800,800,1);return false;"> Center for the Development of Recycling—Recycling information for Santa Clara County </a>. The search page lets you search by city or type of material, and then delivers information about recyclers throughout the region. </li>  </ul>  </body> </html>
