you cant do that with everything

Few weeks ago, the city had a big recylcing thing for old electronics, such as your computer monitor. You can drop that stuff off at the dump, but i think the computer monitor goes into a special dumpster, not the main fill, and yes it will cost you money..

You should make stuff. Bust the glass and rip the internals out of the monitor, and put a small board in the bottom. You have a little box now, put several small pictures in it or maybe some flowers (?) I dunno.

Polish the turbo and make it into a lamp.:thumbsup:

The ski can be... whatever you want.

I was serious, you can use a turbo for a lot of great stuff. I would take it, but I am far away.

Older monitors need to be disposed of properly many of them contain mercury and all other sorts of radio active material..

Dont fuck with the monitor... Voltage is bad.......
Bring it to Crowfoot or MacLeod compusmart. It will cost you $15 and you will get 1.50 applied as a store credit to a future purchase.

Are there no ECO stations in Calgary? I just broing all my old computer stuff, oil, tires, etc to an ECO station here in Edmonton, and I think the stuff gets recycled, or properly disposed of.
