[Year 12 IT Apps] [OT] E-Waste

[Russo, Frank R]

Andrew there are a few recycling places around.

But I have found that there are groups out in the community that train
unemployed people had to rebuild/upgrade and then give these computers
to needy families in the community.

I am not sure what there is in your Area but I imagine someone on this
thread will know ?

I was just wondering how other dispose of their old computers once they
are
finished with them.  We have about 100 or so computers and 15inch
Monitors
that need to be disposed of and can't imagine that anyone will want them
but
we are also aware of the environmental hazards of putting computers into
tips.  We are a country school but we could get a truck and take them to
a
recycling place if anyone would actually have them.
