When I asked Google this question recently, I only found one useful local response, Elemental Inc. You can contact them via email (ELEMINC@aol.com) for current hours and such. Here's what I got when I did just a couple of months ago: > Hello, > Thank you for your interest in our services. > Drop off hours are Monday-Friday 9:00-4:00 > > Fees : Monitors 17" and below$7 > Monitors 19" and above.$10 > Printers/scanners/fax..$3 > Computers/serversno charge > Accessories..no charge > > Elemental Inc. > 2371 Church Street > Philadelphia,Pa 19124 There's no sign that I found, so you may want to avail yourself of Google Streetview a bit. Basically, take 95 to the Aramingo exit, head NE on Aramingo, take your first left, and pull up in front of the first garage door on the right after crossing Milnor. If you cross E Stiles, you're a block to far, and if you hit Tacony you're way too far. The area's all semi-identical industrial park buildings. Of course, you should look into the giving older computers to schools, freecycle, so forth first, because even "recycling" electronic waste isn't a magic wand meaning that everything involved gets re-used, but if you've got a stack of things you know nobody wants as I did (B/W Apple monitors, Alpha workstations from the '80s), they seem to be a good option. -- gabriel rosenkoetter gr@eclipsed.net Attachment:
