On the slightly off-topic of Computer Recycling, here are some resources and an opportunity:
RESOURCES: I knew there was a state program so I searched the State web site and found the following three pages: The NH Governor's Recycling Program (NHGRP) http://www.state.nh.us/recycle/ I have their March 2000 "Computer Reuse and Recycling" pamphlet which lists 26 facilities that offer some type of computer recycling. The Waste Management Division - Planning and Community Assistance Section Bracing for the bytes - Preparing your community for discarded computers and televisions http://www.des.state.nh.us/PCAS/nhma.htm This has a lot of good looking links at the bottom, specifically the next one I listed. The document from the EPA also looked good but I didn't read it yet. The Waste Management Division - Planning and Community Assistance Section Vendors for Computer Recycling (Particularly Cathode Ray Tubes) http://www.des.state.nh.us/PCAS/comp_recyclers.htm This page is not as comprehensive as the pamphlet that I have. Hopefully the ones in the pamphlet have not gone out of business. OPPORTUNITY: As the old parts have been collecting in my basement, I've been thinking about recycling. I've been meaning to talk to my town's recycling committee to encourage them to add computers to their list of recyclables. Now that recycling has been raised on this list, I think this would be a great opportunity for GNHLUG and it's local chapters to provide both a community service and raise the awareness of Linux. What do others think? Is there someone with the time and motivation to lead such an effort? I don't have the time to lead, but I'm very willing to help. Thanks, Larry ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *****************************************************************
