Hi All,

I have been helping out with this group for some time; they are 
tasked with 'conscientious recycling' of hi-tech materials, computers 
and associated unwanted material. The group also provide non-profits 
and low income families with low cost, but usable computers on (very 
long term) loan.

We are investigating extending 'conscientious recycling' to include 
the Robotics club and similar organizations.

Normal donations to MM include olds PCs, printers, TVs, flatbed 
scanners, photocopies and masses of old network devices like routers 
and switches. Also power bricks, cables (including CAT5 and printer 
cables that can be stripped for individual wires).

The normal business is run by testing, cleaning and re-selling 
equipment with a nominal return policy.

Anyone interested if MM had a section dedicated to untested equipment 
at a few dollars per piece ? This equipment would only be sold 'for 
parts', so no warranty.

... and when you are done stripping out what you want, the remaining 
guts could be returned to MM to be included in the normal scrap 
recycling process.

Comments please - what are you looking for, from your next hi-tech 
recycling store ?

Regards,

Mark

PS If is worth also noting that MM accept most electronics scrap, in 
pretty much any condition free of charge. There is a charge for 
dropping of CRT monitors and TVs.

PPS MM is located at the junction of Wordsworth and Waltham Road in 
Waltham. Currently open weekdays 9am to 5pm. Soon to include Saturdays.

PPPS Hope this isn't considered a commercial posting, since it is 
supposed to be 'community support'
