<div dir="ltr"><div>Just want to jump in and say that Jaime 415-290-5612, from Bay Area Hauling and Recycling, takes our E-waste for free, (still costs our time and labor) and we have used his services successfully several times at Noisebridge. Just call and make an appointment often if one calls early, it can be same day.</div>
<div><br></div><div>From their card:</div><div>"We Recycle all kind of appliances, metals, auto parts, engines, refrigerators, and water heaters for free." In addition to the above Jaime takes E-waste, and has been very responsive for pickups. He does not take wood.</div>

This is actually the first time I've announced that I do this at all on the lists but here I am doing it anyway.<br>
<br>
Dell desktop -- runs XP, needs new CPU fan but should boot right up otherwise. Do the Administrator trick or run ophcrack to get in.<br>
Dell laptop -- annoying as hell to get to the internals. Needs new HDD, chips reflowed.<br>
Compaq laptop -- Won't turn on. I tried popping both batteries & draining the caps. Afterwards I tore out the HDD for a secure destruction of the data as instructed by my client.<br>
<br>
All this should come out to about $20 in salvageable parts (DIMMS, fans, HDD's, etc). Expect to hear from me in another month, when I'll probably have more stuff to donate.<br>
<br>
FYI: my past donations have been more functional; mostly SO-DIMMS, broken ipods w/ guttable HDD's, etc. You know, things that don't last a week in Noisebridge.<br>
