If you are a resident of Leominster, I think you can take it to the transfer station on Rt. 117 (Near the 190 junction). You should call the DPW for details.

there is a place in leominster that will take it at 10c/lb.....meaning you pay them 10c for every pound of whatever you want to get rid of.

I'm fairly certain you need a car tag to dump there but I don't think they care if you're just dropping off electronics, since they charge you a fee anyway. It's reasonable, $5-30(iirc), depending on size. Take care, James

Harvey in Westborough. I would have looked around for a better deal (my town takes them for $10, between 9am-noon *one* day a year), but I had to make room in my garage. -Jamie

Anyone know where I can recycle old electronics? I've got a dead TV and amiga monitor. I should probably get rid of the old amiga computer as well and perhaps other spare/broken parts. Dennis Payne dulsi(a)identicalsoftware.com
