Hi,
I haven't seen this on the list yet, but Office Depot is offering free recycling of Old PCs and
components.

I know most of us "recycle" our PC by removing Windoze and putting Linux onto the machine. But if
you're like me and I know I am :-) you've managed to accumulate a collection of monitors over the
years for which you've got little use. 13"-14"-14" with a halfway decent sync rate and so on which
are full of lead and other bad things for the environment.
Also Computers for Africa http://www.computers4africa.org/ or your local church is the ideal place
to donate your machine if it is in working condition and modern enough to be worth it. But if
they're not this is a chance to get rid of some machines that aren't salvagable.
BTW - I haven't used this program yet, so I'm not sure how much of a hassle it is.
Regards,
Aaron
