Re: [OCLUG-Tech] Trailing edge as-is shop

TTER runs an as-is store on Fridays and Saturdays. The last time I was in there they had a pile of older computers with Linux Mint pre-installed.

Yes, they recycle or resell electronics. All sorts of stuff. And if you are installing Linux on a budget you can get a core2 duo or similar PC for $100 - $200. Some servers are for sale too. Or a Playbook 32 anyone?

HiTTE used to take back things that they can sell for cheap, which they
dealt with in a separate store area 3 units down.Maybe they still
do?Are they are an official e-waste recycling center?
If you don't want to go all the way to Bells Corners, the Salvation
Army takes e-waste.If I was going to be at the meeting, I would take it
for my Scout troop, which also collects e-waste and metal for
recycling.They take old lawn mowers, fridges, hunks of molded aluminum

>from cars, especially from this scouting area. But I don't even have a

car to take such stuff home, and I won't be at the meetings this year.

? i have a couple ancient laptops that have zero value so is there
somewhere in town that will take such things and basically strip them
down and try to recover anything of value, like melting it down for
metal?

Thanks Roland,
The "separate store" I was referring to is the "physical" store they
used to have, in space now used by a musical instrument place - Fleet
Pro Sound. I mean they expanded into it. I think they have been in that
location for 10 or 15 years.
Thanks for pointing out that site, TTER.ca, I didn't know about it.
All my very best,
Rob

Oh.
Wow.
Sorry for the repeated mailout.There it was in my drafts, and I
thought, "Oh. Must not have sent it, or it didn't work."I'm not blaming
Yahoo Mail, I should have checked.
My apologies for snow falls of email.
All my very best,Rob
