    So I have an old laser printer (NEC Silentwriter 95) and a monitor that no longer work. I have no use for them but don't think throwing em in the garbage is likely to be good for the environment. So is there a place that takes these things for parts, etc?

    I also have an old computer, Pentium 66mhz thats just sitting in the garage? Again, any place i can drop this off at? I've stripped it of its memory and cd drive, so its just basic parts...

    I give all my stuff to AJG Recycle. I'll get you the info when I get back to work later today.

    There is also a recycling center at Westpark and 59 (approx) that takes small amounts of computer stuff like that.

    Goodwill, Salvation Army, etc. I believe some of them put old computers together from parts.

    Id actually go to Vegeance's location. Closer to you.

    The place I know of is over in NW Houston (Willowbrook). They love to buy old computer parts.

    Im not interested in the parts for myself. :)
