[Hidden-tech] Donating Computers Advise/Information?

Hi all,

As a place that in the past had gotten inundated with "donated"
equipment that was not in working order, we had closed our doors to most
donations and recycling efforts.  However, we are actively negotiating
with an organization that specializes in reconditioning and reallocating
used equipment to offer trade-in and donation services.  If you have
legitimate, working condition equipment that you would be interested in
donating or recycling, we may be able to handle your request in the near
future.

If this in fact pans out, we'd be able to handle:

- Copiers 
- Desktop PCs, Workstations, Tablet PCs & Notebooks 
- Digital Cameras 
- Servers (Intel and non-Intel based) 
- Large Flat Panel Displays & Monitors 
- Network equipment - bridges, routers 
- PDAs 
- Printers - Dot Matrix, Laser, Line, Multi-function, Plotter, Thermal 
- Projectors 
- Storage Devices - Tape Drives, Others 
- Telecommunications equipment - Switches, PBXs, analog or digital PBX
cards

One of the biggest issues is space . . . We don't have the space to
aggregate all of the donated equipment, so each trade would have to be
coordinated on a case-by-case basis.  I will follow-up as I have more
information.

Lastly, if what you have is a closet full of junk and happen to be
located out in the Berkshires, Variety Trucking (Sherri - 413-684-3810)
hauled monitors and PCs for disposal for a client of ours in the
Berkshires in Fall of 2004.  You might want to give them a try (but have
your checkbook ready).

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!
