The best place for it is the Ecostation

That's what I thought!
And it won't be a problem taking to the ecostation as that's where i work in Grande Prairie |

| dont you have to pay to bring computer stuff to ecostation? |

NO, you shouldn't have to.
You pay the recycling fee when you buy it, so dropping it off at an ecocenter should be free, it is in Grande Prairie where i work.
I am not allowed to touch other people harddrives, but most other things are fair game. So If a person dropps off something usefull or up to date I ask them if they mind giving it away instead of trashing it. Most people don't care and I have built myself a half decent ecu for free!! |

I started on an 8088 dude, the Tandy 286 was the upgrade :D. I believe mine had 640K, 10MB hdd(which was the size of two 5.25 drives!!), monochrome graphics card, 5.25 floppy, and the processor was something like 8MHz. The first upgrade I did was install a 1200bps modem, which is how I kind of got into computers in a sense. The good ol' days. |
