[ale] [OT] Electronics recycling in metro ATL

[Lightner, Jeffrey]

A couple of years back I took a fair amount of computers/electronics to the Cobb County dump where they have a separate area for unloading that kind of thing.  I can’t say for sure that they recycle it but I think they do.   Back then it was $5 for a load (I had filled my car).

There are also a fair number of companies that do electronic waste disposal and will come pick it up but I think they charge for that.   I’ve seen their spam for this service multiple times.   Here we use one (though I don’t know who) because we have to be able to prove we’ve responsibly disposed of electronics.

DeKalb Co recycles electronics at the tag and title office complex at Memorial Drive at I285. It off to the side nearest I285 where the free mulch pickup is.

Okay, I know this subject comes up from time to time but the situation always seems to be in flux and therefore so would be the answers.

I have a nonfunctional rack-mount tape library and some other odds and ends that need to go to recycling. I'm happy to drive the stuff someplace but I really don't want to wait until such-and-such has its decadal recycling drive or whatever...I want to drive off from my house with the stuff in the car and return without it, having done something more responsible than chuck it all in a Dairy Queen dumpster in the middle of the night.

What's the current story? Yes, I've Googled this, but it seems that Googleable info is not really current. I'd prefer hearing from someone with firsthand knowledge.
