Computer/electronics recycling
1:28 PM 11/08/2012
Hi everybody,
I work for a nonprofit downtown, and we recently upgraded our computer workstations. I have about 40 workstations that I need to unload; most of them are Pentium 4 OptiPlex machines that could be useful depending on the application.
In addition, we have a number of CRT monitors and other outdated/broken electronics taking up space.
My question: Is anybody familiar with services or organizations that will take them off our hands? It's a little impractical for me to load them into my Civic and take them somewhere, so I'm hoping to find someone who will pick them up for us once the hard drives are wiped. I've looked into electronics recycling from companies like Waste Management but their prices are out of this world!
Thanks in advance.

If all else fails, post them in the free section on Craigslists - people will definitely take them.

This is what I was going to recommend (especially for the broken ones -- I don't know that nonprofit groups would have any use for broken equipment, whereas they might have some use for ones that are simply old). Go to http://dpw.dc.gov/DC/DPW and click on "E-cycling."

Byte Back DC - it's a 501(c)(3) organization prividing computer literacy training to the underserved in DC. They take donations. I dropped off my old computer, but for so many, they may be able to do pick-up.
