Anyone with an old PC ( or parts) you no longer have use for are encouraged to bring them to us so we can rebuild them to give to those in need of a computer. The old machine you think is a waste of space may be a useful tool for homework or sending out resumes.

As you can see by my username - I do pcrecycling myself. The hard part I have is just finding a source to dispose of the monitors  Anything BELOW a Pentium 2 unless its a server I usually dismantle and recycle. I scrap the metal myself and have a partner of sorts that deals with the boards. I dont make much money out of the deal but thats ok I like to keep the old systems out of the landfills. |

Monitors can be especially nasty, considering the old CRT's often have both lead and mercury inside. Another thing to be careful of - CRT monitors are known for storing electrical charges for months on end, usually a couple thousand volts or more. Under no circumstances should you open one without taking the proper precautions.
