<div> </div>
<div>A few years back I used to catch a train near Salford University in the UK. One morning as I went to work I noticed that the Uni had placed about 30 old computers and monitors on trestle tables in their car park, with a sign on them "FREE - PLEASE TAKE AS MANY AS YOU LIKE"</div>
<div> </div>
<div>When I came home that night, the computers and monitors were still there but all the trestle tables had been taken....</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Ethical disposal of old computers is a more complex process than it appears at first.</div>

Reminds me of when I tried to donate some used, but in very good condition, household items including bedding to the Salvo's not that long ago...What? no plastic cover?...sorry we no take..Excellent curtains? What not dry cleaned? Sorry, we not take!<br>
<br>What computers...NO Box they came in? No packaging?...Sorry, we no take!!<br><br>Try the recycle section in your local tip and yes...they will take...AND find a new home for it!!<br><br></blockquote></div></div>
