What an E-Waste of My Time

[EricKei]

OK...I AM NOW...Mildly to moderately annoyed x.x

Ya see, the ONLY way to safely/legally dispose of electronic waste anywhere in this half of the state is to take it to the yearly "e-waste day" at the dump, which isn't until next April. As you might expect, I was quite happy to see an online flyer about the local waste company offering to accept the junk for a small fee.

Thanks, in part, to the deep clean of my house a friend helped me with recently, I have half a trunk of the stuff to dispose of (old routers, batteries, hard drives, etc, all boxed up, no worries), so I headed on down to the advertised location today to take care of it...buuuuuut I wouldn't be posting this if it worked out that well.

I took it down there, and I was told that they only accept TVs and monitors at the center -- Apparently, whoever put out the public notice didn't include that part. The lady was professional about it, tho, and she wasn't any happier with the guy who made the ad than I was. Now I gotta schlep all that stuff back into my house to sit until the Spring. Joy, joy.

Or wrap the boxes up in pretty Christmas paper and park at the local mall with the doors unlocked and the boxes on the back seat.

Ya know, I still have a delivery box or two, and porch pirates are a thing...

Bad idea. You don't want to attract them to your house.

Whoever said anything about it being MY house...?

...Juuuuust kidding.
