We got a new tire...

What about paint?  Do you know if WM picks up paint?

At the 1st ward meeting, Kevin White said people can bring old paint
to PWD for disposal

[Bonster]

Why bother?   WM comes to you.

We noticed that two of our neighbors inherited tires also.

Just wait til' February, when everyone starts dumping their useless old TVs !

Does anyone know if the City is planning any type of pickup for these ?  Isn't there a fee if WM picks them up, or will WM even pick them up
The only recycling place I know of is in Naperville.  People aren't going to drive out there.  They'll all end up in the alley or in some business' dumpster.

I'll let you know when I get home later tonight.

THe problem with appliances is the value of the copper in them...nothing will be taken intact anymore - guaranteed.

I set 7 old PC monitors out for people to take (all worked)...when I came out two hours later, all the video cords were snipped.  When I checked again in the morning, the backs were all smashed out, and the inner workings were removed for copper.  I was stuck cleaning up a bunch shattered plastic behind my garage.

Schools will take working monitors.

Speaking of which, I am slightly disappointed in the technology or lack thereof in District 100.  That is where we need funding, big time.  Berwyn is supposed to compete with the rest of the State with what we have and we have the bare minimum.  If there is anyone out there that can help them with the Pershing website, on a volunteer basis, please, please step up.

Schools will take working monitors.

I actually tried that...with about 8 PCs as well. 
They generally have to be less than 5 years old.  When I say these were "working," I mean they turned on, showed a picture...but not necessarily good colors, or super clear, or 15", etc.   Someone in dire need could have used them, though.

Anyway, back to helping my fellow Berwynites.

Sir, yes, sir.

Gotcha. I have a ViewSonic 19" CRT I called them about but haven't had the time to bring by yet. Works great, so I'm sure it will be useful.
