1151877	2010-11-10 10:20:00	RCN deals with that sort of thing but I don't know much more than that. Just chucking it in your rubbish is a possibility.	roddy_boy (4115)
1151878	2010-11-10 11:46:00	Store it until next eDay?	Snorkbox (15764)

1151882	2010-11-11 04:32:00	ASUS Z92T laptop. Screen is currently not working. I have removed the HDD and RAM modules. The battery can barely hold any charge.	Renmoo (66)

They probably put it on a ship and send it to China to some back yard place that uses young children to strip the gold and lead. NZ is too small to recycle.	Digby (677)
1151884	2010-11-11 07:06:00	Try these two places: http://www.computerrecycling.co.nz/ www.zerowaste.co.nz Thanks for the links, Foxy. I will visit Computer Recycling tomorrow morning :)	Renmoo (66)
1151885	2010-11-12 03:24:00	I have just returned from recycling the old machine at the said place. They have got three big boxes clearly labeled with what computer gadgets to go where (Box 1 = PC/Laptops, Box 2 = Printers / Scanners etc, Box 3 = Something else). Quite systematic.	Renmoo (66)
