Computer Recycling

[sterlingice]

So, I've been doing some closet cleaning and I have a bunch of computer junk that needs to be recycled. Being someone who doesn't just like to throw stuff that has things like lead in it out into the trash, I'm wondering if there's a good way to recycle some of this stuff.

In particular, I'd like someone who can do it on the cheap. As an aside, this is the type of stuff where government money should be spent subsidizing public health- "Let's pay a couple of bucks to offset costs and encourage people not to throw lead into the drinking water supply, for the good of everyone"- but that's another story for another day.

Douglas county actually had a computer recycling thing a couple of months ago where I got rid of some stuff (old laptops with wiped hard drives, an old Palm V that was wiped, etc). But now I'm down to stuff like old hard drive enclosures, ISA cards I'll never use again, cables that haven't been used for computers since the Reagan administration- that sort of thing.

So, any ideas where to recycle?

(also, if anyone wants any of it- an old Voodoo3 PCI graphics card, PCI firewire card, some old IDE cables, old parallel cables, other miscellaneous crap- drop me a PM, if you pay shipping, I'll send it)

IIRC, Best Buy is stepping up big with a recycling project. Might contact them.

I used them a while back to recycle something- I forget what. They take complete items but there's nowhere to do individual parts near as I can tell.

Office Depot has a listing on their website where they will sell you a box ($5/10/15, depending on size) and will recycle anything electronic in it, provided it fits their criteria. Haven't checked with them yet.

Bump for the weekday crowd.

Anyone with any ideas or anyone wanting spare computer parts?
