Can I recycle my old RAM?
Don't just throw away your old RAM. Even if you can't re-use it in another machine, someone else can. Those old 30 pin SIMMs are getting harder and harder to find these days, especially in higher capacities. Look into donating your old memory modules to an organisation that refurbishes older PCs for charity.
If you aren't in a charitable mood, consider trading your RAM in. While you may not get as much as you paid for it, most computer stores will give you cash back for your RAM whether you'll be purchasing more or not. And RAM modules can practically be used as currency at computer trade shows.
Even if nobody wants your old RAM (perhaps because it's fried), that's no excuse to add it to your local landfill. With some wire, a pair of pliers, and a little creativity, you can turn your useless modules into anything from jewelry to Christmas tree ornaments!
