How do I dispose of a broken computer adapter correctly?

Asked by adrifoxx (69points) November 28th, 2009

Is there any right way? or can I just throw it out with all of the other trash?

Oh, OK. That’s a transformer, specifically a dry-type transformer. Those don’t pose any special disposal problems. Trash it in good conscience.
