Looking for pick up of several old computers.
Apparently I am not supposed to just throw them in the dumpster.
I googled it but didn’t have much luck.
Anyone know of a good local source?
(I have aboot 20 computers/printers, etc I need to get rid of.)
How old are they? You could donate them…
it’s earthday…dump them in the lake.
^lol. I would get in big trouble.
They are quite old. They used to be whiteish now they are yellowish.lol Some may be 20 years old.
:word:
did that with a couple of old rigs i had laying around.
+1 its kinda like giving back
Now that I think about it these computers(some) are older than the average NYSPEEDER. lol
Then they are practically new

I feel a little bad about putting 2 desktops + a monitor at the curb.
what the hell do they do with a 486 these days if you donate it? teach the kids to play solitaire?
Thanks Jay.
usually you could just leave shit like TVs and computers at the curb(out of the garbage bin). you live in the sticks though right? not sure how that would work.
Its hazardous material you can’t throw it in a dumpster
oh, is this at work and not at home? I was talking about residential trash pick up.
The thing is I think I need traceability because I am a company.(Cradle to grave type of thing).
If the Epa shows up and asks where we got rid of our old computers I need documentation.
My Chinese competitors probably don’t have that expense.
I have put old computers out to the curb at home and they are gone before the garbage man even shows up.
Really, because Amherst trash pickup took two old desktops and a blown CRT monitor I put at the curb no questions asked about 5 months ago.
Are you sure a scavanger didn’t take them?
Shits gone in minutes out here. lol
Amherst will take them and dispose of them properly. Most pick ups will, you just can’t put them with the other trash in the standard bin.
Kenmore did the same last fall.
Drop them off at Computers for Children, get a tax writeoff.
Call it a day and be happy knowing 6 year olds won’t be without a 486 that plays solitaire on Windows 3.11
I was speaking in terms of a business…I didn’t think as a home user he had 20 PCs laying around…
