Free And Easy Computer & Electronics Recycling. Right Here In Good Ole Fayette CountyNow don't go and start thinking ole Git is some sort of bedwetting tree hugger or such. Let it be known that I am convinced this whole global warming thing is a bunch of crap and that our grandkids are going to laugh their butts off looking back at us in 25 years or so. With that said I am and have always been a conservationist. Not a doomsday, the hole in the ozone is going to swallow us up type, but someone who believes we should be good stewards of our surroundings and not be wasteful. Following are some practical tips in recycling that many may not be aware of. Now first thing; Do not ever pay Dell or Office Depot 25 or 30 bucks to ship off your old computer to a recycle center. It’s a stupid waste of money which only dupes you into thinking you just personally saved the earth. Instead try these links where we can all recycle easily and free. They are on our county website and in our own backyard.

They all just dump in the same compaction bin. This makes it an easy and no fuss solution. Yup! Glass, cardboard, cans, plastics, metals,….. all in the same hole. Don’t git no easier than that.

This link allows you to input the item desired and it will tell you where it can conveniently recycled in Fayette County. A couple of months ago I dumped 2 old servers, 8 desktop computers, a bunch of monitors, several printers, all the associated wiring, keyboards and mice off at the electronics trailer. It was a packed pick-up truck load. The only hassle was that I had to carry it all up the stairs and stack it in the Gaylord boxes. But, it was well worth the effort and free.
