I have chests full of old motherboards, 72 pin ram, older 128 pin ram, crt monitors, made peer to peer cables, other cables, old hard drives, and all kinds of old video and sound cards and lots of old software. who knows what else in the chests. These are all from when I built computers from 10 years ago so all outdated stuff. :buddies:

I don't know if your stuff complies, but there is a trailer at Ball Road dump in Calvert that takes old computers, copiers, tech stuff, etc. I have taken my obsolete stuff there.

I also remember there was a thread a while back, but can't find it. But, it was about donating computer parts/time to rebuilding computers for donation/being compensated for your time, or something along that line. Or needing help repurposing old computers. I will try to find it. Good night! :smile:

I couldn't find the one I was looking for, but this one was humorous!

Go with SmartCo, around the corner from the gymnastics place in Millison Plaza, right next to the the WellPet clinic.
 
Transfer station on Rt 4 has a trailer for just that kind of stuff.

There's also SMARTCO in the Millison Plaza that may take it.

This. If you're looking at the well pet clinic it's on the right, behind the gymnastics place.

1) NSA wants to look it over before you trash it..
2) Obamacare might be able to use it all. Theirs isn't working very good.
