I remember this story being told as a reply to the joke about a software tester walking into a bar ordering 1 beer, ordering -1 beer, ordering NaN beers, ordering a cookie in a beer glass, walking away satisfied. then a customer walking in and asking to use the bathroom and the bar bursts into flames.
I'm not entirely sure this story is true, but it was funny and having done software testing I could believe it happening.
Hi. I am working in Maryland Heights, and am replacing quite a few computers. I would like to recycle them; we have a time crunch.
Can anyone suggest a comp/org that will take the computers. Ideally, someone would pick up a pallet, drill the drives so they are relatively secure, and the process the cases.
At minimum, I would like to find someone who would take these if I dropped them off.
Trying to avoid going straight to the dumpster. Any thoughts? Thanks!
My (elderly) former gaming rig had a graphics card meltdown last year. I've been looking on and off for a place to donate or recycle the parts, but a lot of the options appear to have been COVID casualties. Does anyone know of anything local?
I remember a few months ago I went to the website because I wanted to see if my old laptops could be recycled. The page asked for some specs and said I could recycle them, but they weren't worth any store credit. I went to do the same thing just now because I got a new laptop for Christmas and was hoping to recycle my old one and maybe get some money. the website is not asking for my specs, it's just list what they do and don't accept. if anybody knows how to get to the page where it asks for my specs to determine possible store credit.
I haven't check out much of this in Portland but I just need some cheap computer mice for a project, used ones. I went to the Goodwill on 6th on the eastside and it was decent but not great. In other cities I've lived in they have had recycling centers that have open public stores with old electronics for like $1. Does anyone know of something like that here?
I'm in Saskatchewan so it would specifically be SGI for the insurance company.
This makes perfect sense. The producers of the trash need to have a real stake in finding effective ways to recycle the waste created by their products. As a conservative, I approve of not putting this on the taxpayer.
Maine became the first state in the nation to require companies that create consumer packaging to pay for the costs of recycling it when Gov. Janet Mills (D) signed a bill Tuesday establishing an “extended producer responsibility” program.
The legislation on EPR for packaging will charge large packaging producers for collecting and recycling cardboard boxes, plastic containers and other packaging materials, as well as for disposing of non recyclable packaging. The income generated will be used to support recycling efforts in local communities that have long relied on taxpayer dollars.
“This new law assures every Maine community that help with recycling and lowering the property tax burden is on the way,” the bill’s sponsor, Rep. Nicole Grohoski (D-Ellsworth), said in a statement.
