Where can I do this? I don't think I can just straight up throw it in the trash/recycle bins.

The junk consists of dead mobos and pci cards.

Encorp

They have their main place by BCIt but also have various other locations that accept Electronics.

www.freegeek.com near Victoria and Hastings.

Open on Saturdays too, and keeps a bunch of ex-hobos and ex-druggies clean. I love this place, it's like memory lane for PCs :D

I don't think Encorp will take miscellaneous pieces of computer hardware... only actual computers, printers, TVs, etc.
