I have a load of old computer stuff that I can no longer use.
Old PS1 keyboards, mouse, dead monitors, cases etc,


where do I go to donate them / so others can re-use them or whatever?

 

I know, tough nowadays as public schools have higher technology and don't want them..

goodwill donation maybe ? salvation army ?

or simply 1-800-GOT-JUNK ?

 

I've always wanted to know, but I don't want to figure out what numbers GOT-JUNK are on the keypad,

do you have to pay to call GOT-JUNK? We might move in the near future and might need to dunk a load of crap.

 

yes you pay by the lbs.. not bad.. can get expensive.

 

Throw it in the neighbors yard

 

If the parts work you can try to sell them on usenet on a local for sale newsgroup. I do this with my old stuff. These newsgroups are the ultimate flea market for computer cases, obsolete parts, etc.

If it's recycling time then there are a bunch of places that take it for metal extraction and safe disposal. I did a google search with "computer recycling toronto" and there were a lot of valid hits.

 

If the crap still works, what about Cash Converters??

 

!!!

My goodness! What was once thought of as charitable is now an economic burden!

Home pick up of computer junk - $15 each visit
+ $10 X 2 monitor pickups
+ $0.5 X2 Keyboard pickups
+ $free chips / cards / telephone stuff
+ $3 each computer case with missing items
+ $??? misc items

nearly $50 (not sure if tax is included even) for some punk to come get my stuff that they sell later on to some remote part of the world...

I want to start my own venture

 

dude they pick up your shit everyday in china, and you have to pay them for each visit - cash. like 100RMB for the whole fty load of shit
