throwing out old computer parts

I've found an old Video card from a former pc, and i was wondering what to do with it. Should i throw it out? should i recycle it or should i take it to my local best buy/circuit city/apple store and have them recycle it for me?

One word: eBay!

You could use it in a project PC for something. Other than that, I think you're left with recycling it.

Put it on eBay for 99¢, even if you only get around $3 or something for it you may have made someone's day!

Maybe a local school may take it for the older computers they have.
