So these days it seems folks are upgrading to newer computer gear and the question becomes "That do I do with my 'old' one (your old one being that machine you bought 5 short years ago!).
Well, there are going to be fewer and fewer choices soon, as Portland shifts it's recycling attention to deal with the mountains of old computer gear building up at landfills.
Thank god for FREE GEEKS, and others like them that handle hi tech waste and reduce it to its lowest common denominator, or better yet, recondition it and find it a new home. The Free Geeks folks (1731 SE 10th Ave, Portland, OR) ask only a small donation and that you drop your equipment of during normal working hours, M-Sat.
You MAY wish to remove certain components you could be using with your NEW computer, such as hard drive, CD/DVD drive and the like...but either way, isn't it nice to know your old gear will be handled in an environmentally sensitive manner? We think it is.
So...need help removing components to save? What? You thought we were going to pass up a chance to pitch our services? Call US and ask for a free estimate for decommissioning your old machine. After all, at the very least you don't want those pictures of the kids out there for some new user of your old stuff to be gawking at...I mean, I know they're cute, but.....
