This one, however, made me cringe - and not just because it reminded me how old I am! I am disturbed at the idea that your mini-Everest of obsolete technology is land-fill bound, because nowadays it's really easy to find a way to recycle obsolete technology. Goodwill, for one, takes non-working computer equipment for recycling. In fact, their recycling facility is near you in PA, and they recycle about 2 million units per year. Also, Staples, Best Buy and other major retailers accept computer equipment for recycling, as detailed on this comprehensive government page: http://www.epa.gov/osw/conserve/materials/ecycling/donate.htm This website also has comprehensive information on computer donation and recycling: http://www.computerhope.com/disposal.htm And the best go-to site I know for information on where to recycle all kinds of things locally is: http://earth911.com/ If all else fails, another option in your area is: http://www.erevival.net/ Please consider recycling - just think of all the future collectibles that can be made from that pile of techno junk!
