Where to scavenge/recycle computers

[boblothrope.livejournal.com]

Anyone know a place in the area where people can recycle and scavenge computers and parts?

I used to get parts from the computer recycling bin at the Cambridge DPW's Recycling Center, but recently they started enforcing their rule against taking anything from the electronics bins.

I'm recycling 2 old laptops this week (from 2005-2007 time frame), though I'm not sure that there are any parts that would be desireable.

Depending on the model, it might be exactly the right thing for someone. That's the trouble with laptops. It can be hard to find parts for a specific model, so it's handy to have an exact duplicate at hand to cannibalize.

Yup!
