Don't recycle anything anymore. Use to do it but, the local area quit doing it because not enough people brought their stuff in. The only thing they recycle now is aluminum cans for the local boy scout troop. If I want to recycle anything else, I have to drive 15-20 miles to do it. Nope. Plus, the only cardboard they take if I did drive that far is double or triple corrugated. Anything else is refused. Not going through the hassle. Burn all of my wood, paper, and cardboard.

I once hauled around 30 large garbage bags of aluminum cans to a recycling place. They cut me a check for something like 15.00. Screw that mess. I’ll be long dead before this planet self implodes because of a lack of recycling.

If you are only doing it for money, you're doing it for the wrong reasons.

I do. I'm getting rid of the garbage and if someone can recycle it...good. I can put it in the all green can or the green and yellow can...it doesn't matter to me.

You got ripped off. The price goes up and down but its currently 48 cents per pound. I save mine up until they’re in the way and then take them to a collection site for the local animal shelter. You can also donate them to the scouts in most places.

I just bought all new computers for the office and I have a bunch of old hard drives, keyboards, copiers, fax machines, scanners that I need to dispose of. My little town doesn't have anywhere to take these that I can find out.

There may be a ministry that would be interested. What type of equipment?
