Computer disposal or recycling??????

Let’s be clear some of these may not even be 386s. LOL!!!

Best buy takes em in exchange for a $10 giftcard I think. CRT monitors cost $10 to dispose of there so it voids the gift certificate.

Snow monster avoidance skills in ski-free no doubt.

Any non-IBM compatible stuff by chance? :slight_smile:

Aw man ski-free was the shit

Most “computer recyclers” are simply exporting old computers to foreign countries where they sit in overseas landfills un-recycled. Better off just putting it on your curb, or at least try and donate equipment to a reputable “reuse” organization. Some organizations use older machines, for example, to train the homeless or at-risk youths for modern employment.

“It is estimated five hundred containers of second-hand electronics are imported to Nigeria every month. It is also estimated that three-quarters of these imported products are broken beyond repair…The irony is that many of these electronics were discarded by their original owners in the West for recycling.” http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/africa/04/08/africa.recycling.computers.ewaste/index.html?iref=newssearch

Same thing in China…http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2006/04/10/ewaste/index.html
