There are two amazing places...
There are two amazing places here in Portland, Oregon, that have affiliated or similar groups elsewhere:
Free Geek http://freegeek.org/ SCRAP http://www.scrapaction.org/
The first is a huge recycler of computer parts. They also have a program where you can earn a free Linux box through volunteering or through building their Linux boxes. It’s a nerdy wonderland! They have so many CRT monitors that they are technically considered a toxic waste dump.
SCRAP is another of those creative reuse places. They run contests like Iron Artist.
Awesome way to think out of the box’o’crap, Merlin! This stuff helps us all be more conscious of where our discards go.
