[CALUG] FYI

[Reid Sprague]

Dear Rajiv,

Excellent links -- we have several disused PCs and other equipment 
(printers, etc.) and I have been waiting to dispose of them. Do any 
members know of recycling options in Anne Arundel County? How can we be 
sure that the computers we recycle get recycled here and not sent abroad?

Thanks,        Reid
