Recycling / binning old motherboards
I have a couple of dozen of these with all the important ICs CPUs etc
removed. They are junk to all intents and purposes. What is the best way of getting rid of them? |

Recycling / binning old motherboards
Well many tips have a place for old electronic items I understand. The
problem for many is that most of the time they seem to only want things that look reasonable. Goodness knows what they do with them. I actually am using an old motherboard now.. grin.

Goodness knows what they do with them. Ours seems happy to take things like mobos in boxes etc. I assume they filter out anything that could be sold on (they have space were they sell on stuff like old doors, bikes, chairs etc.) and the rest goes off to where ever old electrical stuff gets sent. Though we have a bin in the local town for small electrical items and I would I normally take such things there as i can chuck them in the car and wait till I am passing -- Chris French |

Fred appears to think England doesn't do that. Around here we put batteries and small electrical items in a separate bag and leave it by the bins. A motherboard would be classed as large. That stuff goes along with glass in a box about 2 foot long here. Anything that fits in it they will take, even a printer which sticks out the top. That's handy.
