Not sure if this forum is the best fit...

I have RAM sticks, CPUs, HDs, tons and tons of cables & adapters, HSFs, case hardware, etc.

The local recycling center really only takes intact PCs.

This stuff is old, like 3-5 generations ago and most I can't even remember what they are like the RAM sticks.

I don't want to throw it out, is there someplace I send it off too?

Thanks!

If you have enough hardware to build a few systems then do so and give to them someone who doesn't have a computer. There are quite a few folks who don't.

Is there a Freecycle group (Yahoo Groups) in your area? I've made lots of people happy giving stuff away on Freecycle.

Also, Best Buy and Staples recycle anything electronic, if they have stores where you live.
