OT: computer/electronics recycling

2012-05-20 Thread AZ Pete

Hi All,

I have 2 old laptops that I'd like to get rid of and would prefer not to simply 
throw them in the trash. Is there a place I can drop them for recycling?  I 
live in North Scottsdale, so ideally a place in the vicinity would be great.

Thanks,
Peter

IIRC, there's a Boy Scout troop that does a computer swap meet/computer
hardware recycling thing on the 3rd Sunday of every month.  So you just missed
it.  It's held by the 5 and Diner in the mall to the W of Indian Bend and
AZ-101, so it'd probably be easy to get to on June 17

http://www.azstrut.org/ is another possibility.  They also have a number of
drop sites (click on Donations) and I see they now have an association
with Batteries Plus which has a Scottsdale office.

Oh, BTW, they are now putting Linux Mint on a lot of machines!

Depending on the machine specs, I may be able to use for my daughters. I am
willing to drive to you and pick them up.
