County electronics day

So I stopped at my County planning dept to get some info. I asked about the electronics day that they have. It happens once a year, usually in the spring. People can bring in any electronic device. Of coarse this intrigued me. I asked how it was put on?
The County put a small blurb in the newspaper. They ended up filling 3 50ft semis full. He said a company took all of it for free, not knowing values of stuff. He did say 1 of the semis was all Tv sets. Obviously I could never handle this amount of material, but he did say if I helped out I am able to take a small trailer full of items home. Not sure if every County does this, but it pays to go ask. Good luck with this everyone.
