You could try Freecycle, or maybe there's a 'free to a good home' thread on a local forum? I've gone down this path a few times in the past but I generally don't bother anymore unless it's something too special to send to the recycle center.

Best Buy (in the US) takes old computer/AV devices for recycle, but you can't take 100s of items in one trip (so you spread it out). They do not charge for this service either (which is a lot nicer than a lot of "ewaste handlers" that charge a fee just to dump the stuff in a landfill behind closed doors or part it out for a profit on ebay).

I'd also consider giving stuff away to folks if possible - Craigslist, Freecycle, etc. I generally wouldn't get rid of working cables - you never know when you're gonna need one, they tend not to "go bad" if left in storage, and tend not to take up too much space.

Vogons? 😉

Not sure if it's allowed or not, but I'll put together a list of what parts I need to get rid of. I've had a few people ask for them instead of just recycling them so once I get the list done and posted here, first come first serve...just pay for shipping.

No probs if you're giving things away, I'm sure. I've read similar threads here. 😀

Awesome. I'll try and get the list updated and up tonight when I get home.

AmiBay and VCF are also good channels.

Maybe salvage a few cache chips, like 32kx8, 32kx9, 8kx8 and 8kx9

Better sell or give away then toss it away.. Because most parts are already been scraped. Make someone happy with these parts..
