put them on the curb...someone will take them.

I put out a few old monitors, a few GUTTED 486 systems, and a ton of cables. they were all picked up by a metal salvage guy within a few hours.

apparently there's a fair amount of gold and copper in them thar boards if you know where to look.

the guy was going to essentially strip them down to scrap and sell the metals.

doesn't exactly deal with some of the other issues (all those parts he DOESN'T salvage...

but at least the guilt is off my back.
