Another reason for my pitch-fest is that I'm afraid that what is currently free when it comes to recycling/disposing of electronics might become a fee-based setup that more and more places are enacting. I'd be shelling out serious coin to get rid of all that stuff, and being that the recycling is a good cause, it would force a lot of people (including me) to consider 'dumping' the stuff rather than doing the right thing. After all, there is profit to be made from recycling and even reusing the items, and double-dipping to make money on it from both ends puts a lot of people off on the idea.

Some stuff was going out intact. I have enough junkbox parts for many things, and most of what I am discarding would hardly ever become valuable or desirable in the future. I'm holding onto the few things I think will be.
