[222mhz] Electronics goods disposal

[Jim Lowman]

Here, we can drop off all electronic items, computers, prescription meds 
and other hazardous waste at the county household hazardous site - no 
charge.

The local charities (Goodwill, Salvation Army) haven't accepted 
computers and electronic gear for some time now.

They have  recycling receptacles in their entrance foyer, labeled "cell phones", printers" etc.  I noticed an old fax machine, and a bundle of small stuff o n or in the recycle barrels.
