WTK where to safely dispose of old PC parts

Mr. Wheeler · Postby **Mr. Wheeler** » July 30th, 2012, 5:22 pm

After 20 years in IT I'm looking to move out of my family home....problem is most of my PC stuff collected are either woefully obsolete or just plain unusable....A myriad of cords...rusty PC cases...old burnt out PSU's etc. Was wondering are there any recycling of PC parts done locally...some of which are toxic to the environment....

P.S. I should organize a small Garage sale.....in case people want to buy some things reeeel cheap.

garage sale sounds good, but might end up being more of a PITA than anything :lol:

As for disposal....

I tend to go to those indian entertainment shows at places like Samar Entertainment Centre, look for a a pickup truck and then throw rubbish like that, and old tyres, in the open tray. Those indo-trinidadians when they come out of those places are just too drunk to notice.

But I am responsible to ensure that none of the stuff projects above the top of the tray, and if I have some old rope lying around, I tie the stuff down in the tray with the rope and the tray hooks. No one really questions anyone that they see tying down stuff in a pickup truck tray.

I'm thinking about giving to society in the form of IT.
I was looking at spending a couple hrs on Saturdays with the Cyril Ross home and teaching the kids how to build PC's. Those kids just suck up info. I have a 7 year old here who gonna buy his own heatsink and fan and build a pc from parts I gave him.
Anyway, if you have any mobo/cpu/ram combo that works, fling it my way please. Nothing fast. Once win98/95 could Install. <6GB HDD's also welcome. I won't need much cases as I can setup without one and more of them would see at a time anyway.
So seriously, if you have, please give. I think doing that for those kids will be a step forward for IT (I hope).

My advice to you would be to reuse what you can or simply give it away, your junk may be another man's treasure. Then you can start looking into recycling. There are a couple companies around that does this. These items would be classed as hazardous substances though, so you should try to ensure they don't end up in a dump.
You can check Lucky 8 Recycling or Piranha.
