Computer Recycling Day

[Sam Couter-2]

I haven't seen this mentioned yet, so just in case anyone else needs to
get rid of some old obsolete junk, Dell and the ANU are organising
another computer recycling day.

What: Computer recycling
Where: ANU car park opposite Old Canberra House, Lennox Crossing
When: Saturday October 17

Re recycling Computers

There is a non profit organisation that takes old working computers and
refurbishes them
for other non profit organisations or people on centre link who do not
have a computer.

I found out about them as my parents have started U3A in Goulburn and
have arranged to buy 3 cheap refurbished
computers from them for the U3A group.

Please consider such organisations rather than having the old computers
shipped and stripped.

The URL for the non profit refurbishing the computers is:
http://workventures.com.au/connectit/pc-disposal-service

The contact email is:
steve.macready@...

Regards
Brian

Note the fine print though. I didn't see any way to easily and cheaply
donate 1 or 2 Pentium3 700mhz systems as it all seems targetted at
businesses overhauling their office environment.

* Minimum pickup quantity is 20 systems (or 40 items).
* Items meeting WorkVentures minimum specification of Pentium 4 will
be collected, expertly decommissioned and then either refurbished or
recycled for free.
* Items not meeting our minimum specification (below Pentium 4) will
be charged on a cost recovery basis; although we are able to absorb
reasonable costs dependent upon the quality of the overall donation
and the percentage of sub Pentium 4 units collected
* Where charges are required, we charge this work on an hourly rate
basis covering vehicle and labour – this invariably works out
significantly lower than commercial operators who typically charge on
a per unit basis. [citation required]

Does anybody know what other dealers around town charge (or even pay)
businesses?

I went there at 4:30, but it had finished at 3:30. The ITWire article didn't
say anything about times or contact details and didn't link to any other web
pages.
Best, Paul
