Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Anyone in the Ottawa area know what to do with old / used up computer parts (printer cartridges, old PC parts, etc.)? There was a place in Toronto, which I think was called Reboot, that would stretch more use out of them, but our concern now is keeping it out of the landfill.

None of this "scroll down" or "there MIGHT be" bullshit. You're slipping, buddy....P.S. Is there a color font that I am supposed to use when I try to make a lameass joke while killing time at work?

ike Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Too bad you're not close to Cambridge. We're always looking for electronic scrap to shred at work. I love watching stuff like that go through a shredder. Shred-Tech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve from Cleveland Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 I know down here in Cleveland, my dad constantly has a supply of out of date computer hardware. When he finally decides to get rid of some of it onece in a while, he usually finds various charitable organizations to take it. A lot of them put together functional computer systems out of parts for use in education facilities, helping special needs folks, etc... You might look into something like that... I know some places melt 'em down for the gold and whatnot, but then I believe they dump em in landfills anyhow...Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollie Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Two suggestions:Ottawa Freecyclehttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/OttawaFreecycle/Peach Computers on O'Connor Street- not sure if they will give you any money for your parts but I'm pretty sure they will gladly accept them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted September 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Thanks also for the charity tip, SfC, and for the Freecycle link, Ollie (what do they have against live animals, anyway? ) - will have to look into those as well.

Snail Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Dr. Didn't you just move to Ottawa? I thought the tradition was to throw out all the crap before moving . Mind you I've got a basement full of stuff that has probably been moved 3 times and never touched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
\/\/illy Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 [color:purple]Probably the best thing to do is wait until cover of the night and then dump all the shit off of one of the bridges into the Ottawa River. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you I've got a basement full of stuff that has probably been moved 3 times and never touched. Ha - you beat me to the punch (it's funny cuz it's all true)! You guys still got that three tons of fabric we had the pleasure of hauling last time around? Probably the best thing to do is wait until cover of the night and then dump all the sh!t off of one of the bridges into the Ottawa River. Yeah, but it would probably all just float downstream and pile up in Cornwall, and they've got enough shit to deal with. Maybe dump it in Stephen Harper's car, and then film him to see what he does with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
