I drove up and specifically asked the guy at the donation door if they took TVs and monitors that I had stripped the copper out of. He answered yes and said that was about all those old ones were good for. I asked again, somewhat incredulously, "You'll take the ones I've opened and taken the copper out of and put back together?" and he said yep, it's better than putting them in the trash.



I also asked if I could buy the dead computers people drop off there. He said nope - we send those to our Computer Works store. Kinda sucks being around Austin - too many tech savvy people around. BTW, I went to the Computer Works store. It's beside the Computer Museum. I doubt there's much they scrap - they had walls full of PCI cards, HDDs, floppy drives, optical drives, whole computers, motherboards, etc.
