What a waste!
Like most people who’ve been dabbling in computer-building and repairs for more years than I care to think about, coupled with my ‘come in handy one day’ mentality meant I’d acquired a fair-sized pile of spare parts. Some are even brand new, in their original boxes.
It’s the sort of stuff that charity shops tend to steer clear of – basically because (a) it’s electrical and (b) they don’t really know what it is.
Now, I could have flogged much of it on ebay and pocketed the cash but I thought my local re-cycling centre may have facilities to sort out the good stuff and be able to make Good Use of it one way or another.
So, I left the new stuff in their original boxes and took it all to be re-cycled. Unfortunately, they’re not allowed to even examine the stuff for potential charity value so the lot went into the skip!
What a waste!
