But Carol isnt your servant, Ward might be, but I dont know how he feels
about servitude, dont want to speak for him.

Are you dumping them in a environmentally friendly manner.

Last year my employer teamed up with Hewlett Packard, we advertised the
fact and allowed customers to drop off their old computer equipment,
monitors, printers, computers etc, once a week I shrunk wrapped them and
sent them back on one of our daily crossdock trucks, they were then
forwarded to HP who moved it to one of their reclaimation facilities. I am
not sure but if the stuff was refurbishable they would repair it and donate
it to charity, else the environmental nasties were removed or rendered
inert, rare metals extracted and the stuff ground down and disposed of.

It was a success but the practice discontinued, it was labor intensive.
