When are you most likely to want to get rid of stuff, including e-waste?

NorthStar Moving figures that is something you worry about most when you are about to move your household or relocate your businesss. So the company has teamed up with E-Cycle Environmental to offer a tech recycling service that helps people dispose of unwanted computers, televisions and other consumer electronics gadgets as they pack up. The environmental disposal service is something that you can have included in your overall moving expenses.

The catch is that both companies are based in California and are very West Coast-centric with their services, so I’m not sure what good this will do for anyone east of the Rockies. Nonetheless, a good idea that other moving companies would be smart to emulate.
