FYI - According to an article in today's Freep (Mon. 3/17, page 7A), Wayne County and Goodwill are sponsoring an electronic waste recovery, recycling, and reuse event on Tues. from 8am to noon on Montcalm between Woodward and Comerica Park. For info call 734-326-3936.

Sponsored by Dell RECONNECT so it may be mostly computer stuff, but it just says unwanted electronics. Possibly some vintage audio stuff might show up and be available for immediate 're-use'???

D-Oh!!!!! I've rescued a bunch of stuff from this sort of event while in State College PA. I wish I had seen it in time( or been able to get away from work for the day).

There were two lanes running through a building at solid waste authority, with Boy Scouts unloading them and filling up crates. Most of it was computers...but there were a few gems, like Bricktop's winter project for one...:)
cheers,
Douglas

Around here, they wont even let the public look, let alone take anything. They're probably being paid generously by some Chinese salvage company.
