I was recently looking around my home office, and realized that there was a desktop computer I hadn\’t used in months. That reminded me of the two desktops out in my \’music room\’ (think piccolo and you will realize why you might want a music room that isn\’t connected to the house). And when I looked at the two desktops, there was a printer. And when I disconnected the desktop, I saw the UPS that has had a dead battery for a couple of years (it was on its third battery over a 15 year period). And there were two monitors…\r\nIt turns out that their is a place that takes electronics for recycling. There is a fee for many items, but it beats hauling them to the landfill, stuffing them in your garbage can (so someone else will take them to the landfill), or leaving them in your music room.\r\n\r\nGreenCitizen has a location less than a mile from my office just off 2nd Street in San Francisco, with convenient parking while you drop stuff off. They have another location Los Altos, and offer pick up service in the immediate Bay Area (see their site for details).\r\n\r\nOn my way, I mentioned to a colleague that I was disposing of some machines, and he took (and has repurposed) a desktop and monitor. Even better…
