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
