Electronics recyclers?

[FlyBoy]

I have on old 14" or 15" monitor and a mostly busted HP printer that I need to get rid of. I know there are places that recycle them, but where are they? Cash converters wouldn't take the monitor, even for free!

Thanks

Re: Electronics recyclers?

no where takes it for free anymore...anywhere you drop it off is going to ahve the pay the recycling fee for you. I think your best bet is a) throwing it in a dumpster at some construction site (haha) or b) take it to the dump

edit: buddy at work just told me he called the dump and asked if he could put electronics out with his trash and they were cool with that

EXCUSE ME?!
Okay, there are lots of locations all over Alberta that take them for free. E-trash or whatever they're called at the old barrack's is one place. I just took a couple printers, motherboards, etc. over there. They take it for free. Please DON'T just throw them in the trash!!!

AFAIK, we dont have any proper recycling facility in calgary so all that **** ends up in the dump anyways (or at least thats what buddy at the dump told a guy im working with)

I was at the NE Memory Express, and there was a sign on the door that there was recycling in the back door "K".

There are plenty of places that are doing e-cycling in Calgary.

Just wait for the next e-cycle drive that the city has every spring. Drop off all your unwanted electronics at one of their locations for free.

Or like James said, leave it out with your weekly trash, with a couple cans of beer and hope the friendly neighborhood G-man takes it.

I usually wait for E-cycle, but I've taken lots of stuff to E-waste as well. They have a location at the Curry Barracks. Also, check on the government web site for other locations, there are ~100 places all over Alberta.
