Recycling old "E-Waste"
Tags: Hardware
What do you do with old broken equipment? I mean, besides stash it in the attic and try to forget it's up there? Better to recycle it with someone like CRT Recycling. I admit, the first time I had them come to haul away a collection of old stuff I didn't realize exactly what they meant by "recycle" so I carefully brought a bunch of monitors out to the sidewalk. Then they showed up with a big truck and literally threw the monitors into the back. CRASH! OK, so by "recycle" they mean disassemble and melt down for metals, etc., not "reuse" or donate. I have to tell you though, it was really fun chucking my old laptop into the back of their truck. SMASH!
If you're concerned about sensitive personal data on your hard drive they also offer complete hard drive destruction. Check out that shredder - nothing is going to survive that.
I'll be arranging a pickup in the next couple of weeks, so if you have any old equipment you need to get rid of (and you live near me) let me know.
