Well, in my house (well, mainly my bedroom) I have some stuff that needs thrown out.

48" CRT RPTV (dead) - I took the first surface mirror out for future use
3 desktop computers
3 CRT monitors

That's what I think I need to toss. Any ideas on where I can get help? Dell/HP only takes away computers and we don't intend to buy a new computer anytime soon.

So...Help!! I need that 48" RPTV outta my family room!

Also...I'm in Ohio if that makes any difference.

Best Buys will take most things - give 'em a call first.

The TV limit is 32 inches.

And its limit 2/day. But still a good idea - so thanks!

Electronics Recycling
Calling the number on the above site (330 898-7907) could probably help.

You can also give it to a donation/thrift store.

Yes. I wish there was an easy answer to this. We all tend to collect so much electronic junk in our modern age. I would really support companies that have a craddle to grave product policies. I think some high-end car manufatures do. This is where the buyer has piece of mind that when the car is at the end of its life not a piece of it will ever be wasted or see a landfill. The product itself is made to be recycled. Actually, now that I think of it, many products in Japan are like that since we live on a small island and there is no where to put it.

Where I live (in MA), the solid waste transfer station (the town dump) will take electronic items for recycling. They charge $5/item.

OT, but is the ram in the computers ddr pc1 ram?


if so and you cant find a place to donate it, can i purchase from you?

Leave it curbside with a "For Sale $100 - Call XXX-XXX-XXXX" sign.

Should be gone by morning.

I don't know how it works in the US.
But in Norway every store need to accept returns of equal products. Ex. if they sell a TV they need to take a TV in return.

Or else there are always the scrapyard, which accept and handle "everything".

That is actually quite nice. I dumped a whole lot of old stuff the other day, free of charge.
