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.

maybe they're worried about someone cutting themselves and turning around and saying 'oh my god you had an unsafe situation!'

Yep, insurance and our lawsuit-crazy culture is what makes people terrified to let people do most useful stuff. :-)
