Sat, May 21 from 9am-2pm, right?

Do they take tube TV's, or just LCD?

Yes they take tube TV's - basically anything you can plug in an outlet. I forgot to mention it's FREE!

Will you take a dehumidifier with a bad compressor?

Think about all the gas you burn driving up there. The more environmental way to do this is to put it in your local electronics dropoff point. These are located on most streets and marked by a heavy metal lid - break your electronics up into pieces and drop them down the recycling hole.

If you can't make it for this one day event, Best Buy will recycle ~~all~~ most of this e-waste for free the other 360 some odd days for free as well. TV's carry a $10 fee, but you are given a $10 Best Buy gift card.

You can look through the catalog at recycledproducts.com and see quite a few items made from recycled e-waste. Dan Weisenbach gave me a quick tour, and showed me stacks of circuit boards that were never part of completed devices, they were from cancelled production runs.

I have to agree about Dan's awesomeness. I love the recycled circuitboard frame in his catalog. And I absolutely cherish one of his hand made awards in the shape of a leaf, and made from recycled blue glass.

I also want to mention that they are doing FREE certified hard drive shredding. They shred all the hard drives anyway, but if you are a business, you usually like a certification certificate.

Hope some of you guys are going to come on up - It's benefiting Thomas Worthington High School's Turf Project.

Thanks for this. You helped me get a lot of stuff out of my basement that I had no idea how to what to do with.
