They'll have a drop off point and you just bring your old computer junk and
drop it off. They're happy to take it off your hands...no charge, I believe.
Contact Kathy Buskill at 574-8442 or visit the Jefferson County Waste
Management District website (www.greenoutlook.org) for more details about the
Cybercyle program. (As of May 1, they still had last year's press release
posted. I've included it below FYI.)

Cybercycle Your Dead Computer
County Announces Recycling Event for Computers and Other Electronics
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (May 11, 2001) --- Jefferson County Waste Management District
will kick off its second annual Cybercycling program for Jefferson County
businesses and residents to dispose of their unwanted, and inoperable,
computers and electronic equipment at no charge. The two day event takes
place on Friday, June 1, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., and Saturday, June 2,
from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., at the Hubbards Lane Recycling Center, 595
Hubbards Lane.
A recent National Safety Council study predicts that over 300 million
personal computers will be recycled over the next 4 years. This includes an
estimated 150 million obsolete personal computers currently sitting unused in
storage.
"Our program was so successful last year, we've decided to expand it to
other electronics which includes just about anything with an electrical
cord," said Bob Schindler, director of Jefferson County Waste Management
District. "This two day event is an opportunity for businesses and residents
to dispose of this unwanted electrical equipment, properly divert it from the
landfill, and free up their storage space." Major appliances will not be
accepted.
What will be accepted: PC workstations, mainframes, scanners, printers,
tape and disk drives, telephones, monitors, scanners, fax machines, TVs,
radios, VCRs, video game systems, CD players, commercial telephone switches,
and cables of any type.
For more Cybercycling information, call Jefferson County Green Outlook at
57-GREEN (574-7336).
