I have some old burnt in monitors, a dell server motherboard that isn't worth anything to me, and some other odds and ends. I was thinking about just throwing it away, but I know that computer hardware is pretty toxic, and I'd rather dispose of it properly. Does anyone know of a place, either in Rolla, or St. Louis that recycles worthless computer stuff?

let someone destroy the monitors correctly before you do anything

Well if anyone does want to blow them up, burn them, throw them off TJ, etc. I'd be fine with that, I just want them out of my house. They are burnt in but would be usable as a backup or something.

Office Space the stuff

Yeah watch out if those are CRTs, they have like penis eating cancer or some shit in those tubes.

Brewer Science sponsors an old-hardware disposal day once a year. They'll take old boxes and components for free and charge $5 to properly dispose of CRTs.

I think their event usually happens in the fall. They've put up notices in the Computer Science building for the past two years at least. It's up to you if you'd want to hold on to your stuff for that long, though.

Well that, and those capaciters still hold a large charge, so make sure you beat it with a wooden bat.

And by destroy them correctly he means throw them down the trash chute in TJ. Not that anyone I know has experience.

Do I know you? Or more importantly... did you know me?

I dont know... We did it 04-05 school year. from somewhere in the south tower of TJ

Thanks for the info, I'll keep an eye out for that. I don't have much else to do this summer, so I'm trying to get rid of all the crap I don't need... the stuff I've been stockpiling the last few semesters, but I can wait.

I have......uh....no idea what you are...uh...talking about

Ahh ok, yeah it was 03-04 when we sent that 15" emachine CRT screaming down the trash chute.

wow without knowing anything about that we did the same a year later

11 floors of pure CRT madness

And the trash chute is a bad place to put a spawn point for 8 foot metal poles, just appears and drops.
