Landfill? Or metals recycling?
Pass :-) I was told the town dump - and although they do have a big
dumpster for metals, I know they prefer them to be as uncontaminated as
possible, so I could see them rejecting something that was still full of PCBs.
There is a separate metal recyclers north of town and I expect they might
take complete systems, but I think they've only been around a few years and
perhaps weren't there "back then". I also know they outright refuse to sell
anything that hits the yard, so it's not as though their existence would
have saved the original hardware.
