Dealing with Old Computers

It is a state of life in our age that computers quickly become obsolete. Computers are made with specific metals that individually pose no great threat, but en masse are rather nasty things to have in landfills.

I was looking at the Keep Truckee Meadows Beautiful website to see what other events they have coming up after we helped with the activities on May 12, and I stumbled onto a link for a company that does private computer recycling. What's more (and of particular value to me) is that they take non-functioning computer parts, too. Many places will refurbish computers for this or that charitable cause - but there's nothing left to computer when I have finished with my computers.

I encourage you to not toss un-functioning computers when you upgrade, not in the trash at least. These people will salvage what they can, and properly dispose of the rest.
