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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
