Keep Hds and ditch. Goodwill and other E-Waste places will take em -- nm - budice Oct 5, 07:04

- yeah, this was my concern. They have separate places at the dump for these materials, but I have no idea what they do with them -- nm - CQ Oct 5, 06:49 4
  - Probably let them sit there. This is a link for NYC (I know, not you specifically) but it looks like Goodwill will take them. -- (link) - spamlet Oct 5, 06:52 3
    - Or it looks like this place may pick them up. - spamlet Oct 5, 06:56 2
