| shanirfriedman | Posted – 5/7/2008 12:07:06 PM | show profile I have a microwave and am wondering if there's someplace I can take it that makes sure appliances and electronics don't wind up in landfills. I know there are groups that accept cell phones, DVD players, etc., but I don't know about larger appliances. Thanks. |

| wineaux | Posted – 5/12/2008 3:50:35 PM | show profile I googled your question, and it led me to a website that suggested you use it to make a diorama. Cripes. Too bad there isn't some artist in NYC you could find that can turn it into a vessel of self expression. |
