TECH RECYCLE – OFFICE DEPOT

I often get asked what to do with old computer equipment. I usually recommend taking the hard drive out and disposing of the rest. About two times a year, Dekalb County offers a recycling event, the last one I remember was at Brook Run. Office Depot also offers a service called Tech Recycle where you buy a box from them in three different sizes S (8”H x 15 x 18 for $5), M (20”H x 16 x 16 for $10) and L (24”H x 18 x 18 for $15). They will allow you to put electronic equipment in the boxes such as computers, monitors, laptops, telephones, CD/DVD players. You then bring them the boxes unsealed. They will inspect the box and ask you to fill out a form. There’s a bunch of stuff they do not take, but concerning computers, the only thing they do not take are cracked monitors.
