well thats no good cause customers isnt getting part of something or $ in exchange and this will be useless moot point but you could park outside officemax and see id someone dropping off old laptops ask them to give to you instead of them and give $10.00
this way customers will alway go for the ten bucks instead of nothing

Well it's better than being charged $10-$30 to dispose of an old monitor or useless computer chassis/hardware. One major computer store apparently did this awhile back and then tossed the stuff the regular trash later on complete with the recycle forms on it, what a joke. (Perhaps drone employees misunderstood there management)?
I have several older 1995 +_ era 14,15 and 17" monitors gathering dust that need dumping. I plan on taking advantage of Office depots new free disposal service.
The local garbage companies are tightening up there acceptable items to throw away. I imaging due to the EPA's new requirements. Electronics are no longer allowed in the regular trash evidently new stickers being applied to the dumpsters. I imagine one day that violations found(in your garbage)could lead to $$$ fines, hefty ones at that.
