I am annoyed i am dumping 2 good 19 inch crt monitors and 1 old p2 PC.

they all work fine and NO ONE will take them away without a cost. One offered $100 to take them away.

Not only can we get no money for them no charity (salvos is 1) wants then either.
so unles anyone wants them they are being out out on the street to be taken away by the council.

	It can be hard to get rid of old computers.
	 
	A few years back I used to catch a train near Salford University in the UK. One morning as I went to work I noticed that the Uni had placed about 30 old computers and monitors on trestle tables in their car park, with a sign on them "FREE - PLEASE TAKE AS MANY AS YOU LIKE"
	 
	When I came home that night, the computers and monitors were still there but all the trestle tables had been taken....
	 
	Ethical disposal of old computers is a more complex process than it appears at first.

		funny you should mention about not taking the product without the box Andrew... Reminds me of when I tried to donate some used, but in very good condition, household items including bedding to the Salvo's not that long ago...What? no plastic cover?...sorry we no take..Excellent curtains? What not dry cleaned? Sorry, we not take!
		
		What computers...NO Box they came in? No packaging?...Sorry, we no take!!
		
		Try the recycle section in your local tip and yes...they will take...AND find a new home for it!!
