as that much of a stretch.
Further to what Goodwill does, is to put all material
into either
recycle if it must be and it will go to a metals recycling operation or
an ecycler if there is one available and taking material.
They also sell material they don't pick for stores in 4' x 4' x 4'
baskets by auction. YOu might luck out and be there when they auction
off such a load of material which included computers. It is very it and
miss.
the main sorting site in Santa Ana, ca and quite some time dealing with
the computer operations and the auction and disposal operation coprises
what I'm citing here.
BUt they don't have any way in place at the central sites to choose over
anything except by luck or exception.
And in oC anyway all collections are supposed to go to the central site
before being pulled for sale.
