Future  Are you getting ready to throw out an old computer, cell
phone or printer cartridge?  If you're interested, there are
alternatives to relegating electronics to the trash heap,
alternatives that could help schools, soldiers and victims of
domestic violence, among others.  A number of companies and
organizations exist that will take pieces of unwanted technology
-- sometimes for free, sometimes for a fee -- and give it new
life in one form or another.  Electronics retailer Best Buy
maintains drop-off centers at its stores where customers can
leave old printer cartridges, cell phones and batteries for
recycling.  Office-supply retail chain Staples has a "Recycle
for Education" program, where the company donates $1 to schools
for each inkjet or laser printer cartridge dropped off at one of
its stores.  Staples also accepts cell phones and rechargeable
batteries for recycling.  Goodwill
