Technodemia

That useless and antiquated computer that you have in the corner of your classroom or in the storage closest can’t stay there forever.  It will eventually need to be disposed and done so in the proper manner.  You don’t want it to end up like those long forgotten E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial Atari video game cartridges buried in the desert.  One of the drawbacks of proper disposal sometimes is the cost to the institution or the individual, that’s where the folks at Apple Education come in.

Apple is offering free recycling of computer equipment for “all accredited K-12 and higher education institutions with at least 25 pieces* of recyclables are eligible to participate“.  The good thing about this is that it is NOT limited to the recycling of Apple products only.  Those old  13 inch CRT monitors,  Compaq Presario Towers, the IBM PS2 that doubles as a stools, as well as the other pieces caked with layers of dust can be sent to be recycled.  Most of your schools may want to take part in this program.  All you have to do is have at least 25 pieces and register before July, 31, 2009.  I would recommended doing this sooner than later.  All the information and packaging procedures can be found at the link below.
