Old or unwanted electronics like computers, TVs and radios should be donated or recycled, not pitched. The heavy metals and other toxic materials found in many electronics can be harmful to the environment if the products are not properly managed. Examples of potentially harmful materials are lead, cadmium, mercury, arsenic and even PCBs (in some TVs and computers made prior to the early 1980s).
