Ooh!
Thanks, tommyrot.
I'm a single undead gal trying to make it in the big city. I have to start somewhere and they're evil here. They don't judge. They've got necro-tempered glass. No burning up. A great medical plan, and who needs dental more than us?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Where's a good local place to which to donate (ugh, ugly grammar) a 17" CRT in good repair?

My house? Assuming a CRT is some sort of TV.
Kidding. I would suggest Goodwill. But I really don't know.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I'm assuming it's a monitor with a VGA input, so mostly useless for TV purposes.
My default for donating stuff is the Salvation Army, mostly because they have a store near where I work.

Our wings are not tired.
We have a number of local charities that take working equipment, but not components. I have a garage full of used parts that I need to toss, but garbage rules say they harm the landfills and need to be recycled. The recycling centers charge you per pound when you drop stuff off. Unless I find a better solution I am about to toss stuff in various construction dumpsters around town.

Mostly lurking...
Huh. That's interesting, Laura. Our recycling will take one piece per household each week. Too bad they don't have something like that for you...

Our wings are not tired.
Our general recycling is great, but no computer parts option. I need to find a local repair shop and see if they want the stuff. Each time I have attempted to find a solution I get frustrated after a few wasted hours. DH says toss it, but my responsible side just can't.

I get why recycling has a charge, but it sure makes it seem less attractive. I don't need them to pay me for the crap, but if I have to get up and mail this thing, my ideals don't extend to paying for the privilege.
Looks like HP'd let me trade it in for $15 (or $30, if I bought a flatscreen monitor from them). Eh.
I think I'll look up my local Goodwill.
Thanks!
