Pass :-) I was told the town dump - and although they do have a big 
dumpster for metals, I know they prefer them to be as uncontaminated as 
possible, so I could see them rejecting something that was still full of PCBs.

There is a separate metal recyclers north of town and I expect they might 
take complete systems, but I think they've only been around a few years and 
perhaps weren't there "back then". I also know they outright refuse to sell 
anything that hits the yard, so it's not as though their existence would 
have saved the original hardware.
