You can recycle old monitors/tvs at Greenfield transfer station for a fee
($10, I think) -- they make take obsolete computers, also.

You might try YES! In Orange for PC parts and components. They have had a
computer maintenance program for youths in the past, and they may want or
know someone who may want them. Contact Tim Cohen-Mitchell, tim at yes-inc.org.

Other than that, you can always try a tech school that has computer
maintenance curriculum (like Franklin County Tech in Turners Falls or Putnam
in Springfield)

Good Luck!

Any ideas about parts/components?  I have old CDROM drives, Ethernet, video,
and sound cards that are not the latest, but do function.  Is there any
place that wants stuff like that?

Where does one take broken TV's and really obsolete computers?  My town
tells me that they won't take the stuff, but cannot tell me who does, even
for a fee.


Andy.

Anyone have information on donating "obsolete" computers?  Do you know of
any organizations/individuals that would be able to use older Macintosh
notebooks/desktops?  Preferably local.

Would rather donate than recycle.  Any info on donating computers would be
helpful.

Have done some research on the following websites, anything to share
regarding experiences with these orgs?:

www.cristina.org
www.worldcomputerexchange.org
www.tecschange.org
sharetechnology.org

Specifically, the computers to donate (so far) are:
1 Powerbook Duo 230
1 Powerbook 2400c/180
1 Macintosh Performa 6400c/180
1 Macintosh Centris 650
1 PC - a notebook: AMS Tech Travelex 105


Thanks!
