So there were others then ... number of seats, top speed, number of doors, colour ?

So what happened to the £20 per item PCs how do you know they are stil l working ? The 50 or so PCs we had I had to take the HDs out of so all the PC had no H D and hence no OS.

d up stuff that would have gone in a landfill here before they invented rec ycling.

No this is after inventing recycling in fact some componies that charged mo ney for their old stuff to be collected. It's still happening today and it' ll happen tomorrow and next week. We sometimes call this fly tipping in tha t someone that has been paid to take stuff away and dispose of it properly is lying. It happens les sin the UK with computers because there's a chance the seria l number if found could be traced back.

o get the capacitors, gold, etc.

are they dismantling these working PCs you sent back? Why don't they use them you've said they have for 10 years now. Thing is you don't have a clue where your PCs have gone.

SO you can't know they were used at all. Why give £20 to someone to throw it in the recycling bin can't you do that yourself ?

no HD and hence no OS.

For wqhatever reason we were more sensiative about what was on the HDs so t hey were taken out and NOT given away, I think some were reused in house, o thers were destroyed. we also didn;t want licensed software being left on t he machine s and didn't want to pay the costs of installing ODS's on 50 PC that were to be scrapped.

That sounds a much better idea, but then again I use trollies, the largest I have could hold about 8 iMacs. I typically put -12 PCs on our largest tro lly sod walking back and forth carrying 50 PCs with monitors & kb's & mice powe r leads etc..

Neither of which mattered.

The idea of recyling is to stop waste and hopefully limit pollution. We could have dumped it all ion regents canel rarhewr than spending £1

Yeah sure.

Soem of those companies are just using the skip too, not recyling and some are fly tipping, of course yuo might have checked out the company to make s ure they arent fly tipping, but hwo do you really check that.

Because theres the chance that someone could unerase them, while some were piut back into use, some were taken out to be wiped, otherwise I'd have to know the login details of each PC.

That's your chouce but I wouldn't want to pay £1000s to pollute somewh ere else. This is also what happens with fly tipping a person pays another to safely dispose of their rubbish and you're old TV that you paid the guy £10 t o recyclce ends up in the local stream, why pay a bastard like that when yo u could have done that yourself for free.
