When such an
event comes around in this area, I'll sometimes place an
ad in the local Craiglist and Freecycle, asking people to consider
donating their vintage equipment, rather than recycling it. I've
acquired a few pieces of equipment from those.
Can't you put a small table (or the back of your car opened) in this
recycling event saying "I pay $1 for old computers!"??? :D from whoever dropped it off. :-(
The guy I spoke to there (from the recyclers) was friendly enough, just
worried for his job if he let anything go from the pile.
I've sent the company an email just in case there's any way of stopping
this from happening next time (if there is one!) - it seems like a bit of a
waste of time on both sides if they have to ship this stuff ~300 miles to
their facility only for me to want it and have to have it shipped ~300
miles the other way. Of course I expect it's a long shot that we can come
to any kind of useful arrangement, but it doesn't hurt to try.
