Think First :
The bottom line is that if you really must replace your system, think before you act. Simply tossing your old system into the garbage may be the easiest way to get rid of it, but remember that doing so could have a lasting impact on the environment. Selling, donating, or at least recycling your old computer equipment is the smart way to go, and it may even make you feel better about splurging on that new system. Let's help keep our landfills free of useable electronics. Georgia will be a better place.


Computer Equipment Donation, Computer Refurbish, Computer Reuse

Reuse
Certain groups like Goodwill Industries; have accepted older equipment and refurbishing it for resale to individuals or donation to schools and nonprofit organizations. There are also several retail stores that refurbish older electronic equipment and resell it with a warranty. Some organizations will give a small cash rebate for donating an old computer. A lot of states have programs that place computer systems with children and adults with disabilities.

Recycling
If your computer system is not worth parting, refurbishing or reusing, you can recycle it. Computer components may contain small amounts of gold, silver, and platinum in the printed wiring boards and connectors. The metal is difficult to separate from the rest of the materials, some of which may be hazardous. some electronics recycling firms, and even some state and local governments, have collection days and may be able to take your equipment-even if no one else will.

If you would like more information about organizations near you that accept computer equipment for donation, reuse, or recycling, please visit our electronic equipment recyclers contact list.

How far out will you pick up electronics equipment? I live in South Carolina and have a ton of unused computer equipment begging to be scrapped.

Do you actually dismantle the equipment in the USA and properly dispose of it or do you ship to China for disposal?

May I suggest you set up a relatioship with a non-profit called FreeGeek.. there is not currently a Georgia chapter.
http://www.freegeek.org/
http://wiki.freegeek.org/index.php/Main_Page
They take old computers and place open-source applications through Linux on computers for re-sale or donations to local needy groups. They have a cool program that if you donate some time sorting and setting up computers - you get to leave with a free computer. Nice hands on education for kids ... and adults.

I'm wondering about 2 items you have posted about your business - what do you do with monitors and why the request for 2004 or newer computers? Monitor toxic material content seems to be a big issue and with 3 to 5 years typical depreciation, you seem to have a very narrow band of equipment you are looking for...?

FreeGeek does have a per monitor donation charge for handling but any other device can be donated. May need to check with them regarding any tax credits - if available.

I work with companies that have literally hundreds of computers sitting in storage as most computer "recycle" companies charge for taking the stock away. Help me clarify the device age question and if older is acceptable, I could probably get you a semi load full in one small area of computers, monitors, dot matrix and old laser printers ...

sorry for the delayed reply.

we are currently accepting equipment older than 2004 also.

we do not charge any fees for recycling.

however, if we have to pickup the load, we will charge for the cost of transportation, packing, handling to our facility in Norcross, GA

thanks.
