[wplug] Isn't there a place that takes computer scrap?

[Greg Simkins]

....but Lawrenceville is where they do the recycling.  Southside is  
just the retail store.

This warehouse is really a sight to behold.  It is huge and they  
really recycle everything.  The test every memory chip.  They scrub  
clean to destroy every hard drive.  They have big cardboard  
receptacles full of various parts.  What they can't use goes to  
recycle for the gold.  We should get a tour arranged for WPLUG.
