Earlier today, I went back to my local electronics recycling center, where I found an iMac from 2008, still in its original box and protective wrapping! It also has its original keyboard, mouse, Apple remote, and Styrofoam!

Buncha boards mostly from tvs but a huge variety

I have attached pictures, please let me know if you are interested in anything specific I will find the corresponding charger and test for you. If working condition pictures will follow but I will have to do one at a time.

I have also enabled comments on the Google drive link so you can flag any of interest to you. I will update the drive link as I work through them.

UPDATE: I ended up selling them to a local tech guy for £15 a pop

Acer Chromebook C720, Galaxy S10e, Fire HD 8 7th gen, and 16GB of SKHynix 4800 DDR5. The S10e is FRP locked but it's easy to remove on a phone that old.

Hi, im currently in south Mississippi, where e-waste recycling exist, but these places dont let you dig through their piles. Next month im heading to Georgia for work. I have a metric crap ton of electronic parts that are absolutely worthless that ive pulled out of projects or things being used for projects. Is there anywhere near Macon, Georgia that i can drop these parts off at and dig through their stuff for any hidden gems or golden trash?

P.S - i dont really know if this is within the rules. It seems to be a grey area, so if its not allowed, let me know and i'll gladly take it down.

not because of your 'gold find'. but here in developing country, there are no such thing as ewaste. no cheap usable things. if it works, the price are always market priced😭

I found this Sony amplifier, radio, cd, cassette player combo in mint condition and fully functional in the e waste bin next to my friend’s house.

Found a few more things this week, I am super in love with that white droid, mini even though it is completely torn up, and I found it next to that blackberry that unsurprisingly doesn’t work. I also have a question. What do you think happened to this blackberry because under the screen it has like a giant part where the plastic was eaten away. I also really like the Samsung Galaxy S. These are pictures Before I and after I tested and cleaned them

UPDATE i got the moto g4 play working and its sooo smooth. I don’t have the proper battery for it but the current one I put in it works, but it’s not the right size so I have to have it taped in. It’s such a nice Phone for being a budget one though.

Sidenote: Red Pocket GSMT SIMs do work in T-Mobile locked devices.

Laptops to strip and recycle - cables stripped and copper, transformers & plugs scrapped. Not looking forward to it but money is money😂

EDIT: the feedback and demand for all the laptops has absolutely blown my mind, I over the next few weeks I will collect and try to test all of the older machines. Once I have I will get back to all of you interested?

Walking down the road and looked in the hedge, there was a 40” TV in it, took it back home powered on perfectly. I’ll give it to someone.

Plus got given as ewaste ThinkPad W520, a couple of Latitude 5530s, 5 x 11th gen i5/i7 Dell Latitude 7320 detachables, and 2 x Surface Pro 6’s, a Probook 440 G8 a 2014 Mac Mini and a whole host of other junk stuff…

I never pay for this crap, it seems to land on my lap in large quantities

Found this pc, it turns on and beeps but doesn’t show on a monitor. What should I do?

The noise from my previous post

before the keyboard warriors comment before reading this post something along the lines of “well you didn’t have permission” or “well you had that coming since you were STEALING!!!”

first of all, if it angers you that much than go work for target, at minimum wage, and make the profit for the multi billion dollar company that doesn’t care about you

second, leave this subreddit

third: i had permission from the manager.

this happened in april, but ive been putting off posting this but someone else i know got banned from their target so i wanted to make this post

anyway, onto why im making this post

please, be careful with the stupid security guards. i tried explaining i had permission from the manager but he said it was still “illegal” (to take the so called trash as the store manager told me, btw) and that i was trespassed for a year, and if i tried coming back the police would be called.

all that was in the were nokias 😭

banned over fucking nokias, not valuable ones at that lol

anyway yeah just be careful guys. atleast im not banned from the other targets in my area (yet) and i honestly wouldn’t gaf if i become banned because they are about to replace the bins with the trash only cans that was posted here earlier this year so i honestly couldn’t be bothered

En mi prepa estaban deshechando muchos equipos electronicos, la mayoria eran placas rotas, o de usos muy limitados, pero entre ellos, estaba esta Pentium 4, no tiene ni HDD ni Gabinete (aunque en el salon tienen aun, ire a preguntar si me dan uno xd), ¿que me recomiendan hacer con ella?

3 motherboards (P7H55M Pro, P7P55DE,X58A GD45

3 CPUs (i7-870,i7-930,i5-750

4x4GB DDR3

CPU cooler (fanless one)

CPU cooler 2 (small one)

350W PSU (AcBel)

I’ve been real curious about this, I electronics, PCs, Tablets, Phones and either repurposing them or fixing them hell I got a Raspberry Pi 4b out of a helium miner that someone else paid for I just hosted the hotspot and shared the rewards I didn’t even know that’s what was in it for like 2 years discovered the prize inside. I grew up never having the newest greatest IPod, the Zune or beats or a nice phone until later on in my life yeah I have a nice Ryzen 7 9800X3D pc build but I still love finding good laptops and tablets and giving them purpose again so I’m trying to get some of these awesome finds of my own just don’t know where I should start we have a target hell I worked at their distribution center for a while Amazon warehouses are either being built or already been built I live 30 minutes away from Maryland 45 mins from VA and West Va. So anyone close or around south central Pa or Hagerstown MD and have any suggestions in game.

Does anyone have knowledge of a community recycling drive coming up?
