I just thought some folks might like to know... Office Depot is accepting old computers, printers, scanners, monitors, televisions, anything with computer electronics in it, FOR FREE through Labor Day! If you've ever recycled this stuff before, you know most places charge to take the gear. It can get pricey when they're charging $15 per computer, $10 per printer, $20 per monitor, etc.
If you're not aware, computer gear is full of very toxic stuff, and SHOULD NEVER JUST BE THROWN OUT IN THE TRASH!!! There is a ton of stuff about how terrible this stuff is once it's in landfills. Mercury, heavy metals, lead, etc. Our consumer society is going through so much technology so quickly, it's become a severe problem. Millions of computers, millions of cell phones, millions of printers, millions of scanners, millions of monitors, all become obsolete and are trashed every year.
So, if you've got old computer gear, cards, harddrives, monitors, televisions, cell phones, etc., go recycle them for free now. I took in my very first computer and printer today and they took it for FREE!
