There's a BIG interest out there in recycling old computers and electronics. Sometimes the demand is greater than the supply (Great investigative journalism piece in Capitol Hill News about a computer recycling event gone bad ) and can lead to some tricky logistics — how do you dispose of 14 tons of old computers when you were expecting a couple of truckloads, and when your contractors have issues and are backing out?
And soul-searching — how do you make sure you're not shipping things for recycling to places with lower environmental standards where they might be poisoning people and things?
To ponder. Meanwhile, Airship is doing its part , having launched its Green Appeal free VCR recycling program last year, and bringing all our own computer waste to RePC unless of course it can all be repurposed to make robotic corporate baristas or whatever.
