Computer pieces parts. Who wants 'em?

[Jeff Endress]

As a result of building/upgrading/changing/modifying office and home computers, I've accumulated a significant amount of ......stuff. Memory chips, hard drives, cd roms, video cards, motherboards, fans, harddrives, old cpu chips....you name it. Probably enough stuff to build a few old generation machines. Where can I get rid of/recycle this stuff. If you want it its yours, as is...just don't ask for an inventory, owners manuals or drive disks.

Jeff-

If you don't have takers, you can drive the pieces parts to the Recycling Center, where they are collected and turned over to a non-profit (RET3) that takes care of further recycling or selling as scrap.

Then RET3 makes computers available to other non-profits or schools.

I'd call the recycling plant to see if simply leaving them curbside has the same result.

RET3 is the same group that holds the computer roundups at fairgrounds, etc. and they do this at least throughout the state, although they are located in Cleveland.

interesting documentary on what happens to e-waste

I'm not taking sides...obviously the producer of any documentary has its agenda

one of the Resale stores at Biddulph Plaza in Brooklyn sells various PC components. They had PCI devices, hard drives, and other junk last time I checked. So they must take it.
