None of the goodwill/salvation army stores near my home
in NE Massachusetts
will even accept computers of any kind for donations. That really annoys
me, both from a donatig and a collecting perspective.
The one near me had the same policy. They would refuse them, and if they
were left when the place was closed, they would chuck the CPU in the
dumpster and sell whatever parts and software was left.
Alas, the place is now closed, so I can't dive there any more (the
building owner felt a Salvation Army store wasn't the right type of
"image" for the shopping district it was in... humm... I guess it stood
out to much against the gas station, car dealership, porn movie rental
place/subway sandwich shop (yes, both in one store... get your porn and a
snack at the same time), Hooters and swamp land. Go figure.
