Re: best cheap/free scores 1.1
I know, but I'm not talking about the everyday modern Dell and HP cases here. I'm talking about oldschool beige ones with a hefty weight to them. And possibly the older high-end "custom" cases too.
And yes, I realize you can still have a ton of those too, if you are a big recycler. But not having the space or the place to sell them to means your workplace just hasn't set up the right "supply chains" - i.e. teamed up with other businesses to process whatever you guys don't have time to process.
Scrapping a good solid case (or any useful hardware, for that matter) for just a few cents when it's still worth upwards of 10's of dollars on the used market is inefficient recycling at best.
But i get it - big bosses in most places are just after the easy bucks. Whatever gets the most profit in the door with the least effort.
No wonder we have so much solid waste in this country.
And now with China not accepting plastics unless they are over 90% clean (or something along those lines) means our recycling programs will have even worse recycling "efficiency" than before (IIRC, it was somewhere around 25% for recyclable plastics prior to this). But I'm getting more than off-topic here, so I'll just cut it off here.
