This might be of interest to some of you who are thinking about upgrading
your computers, or who have an old machine sitting around the house
somewhere.  I called our local (Moscow) Staples, and confirmed that they
will be participating in this event.  For more information, please go to the
Moscow Staples store & pick up a flyer or visit www.staples.com/recycle.

Thanks to Tom Watson for this information. Excerpted from a press release
from Staples, a chain of office supplies stores based in Framingham, MA,
with additional information from a Staples store manager in Washington
state:

STAPLES STORES WILL TAKE OLD COMPUTERS
FOR REUSE AND RECYCLING FEB. 17 & 18
Staples, which operates more than 1,400 "superstores" for office supplies,
will accept computer equipment for reuse and recycling at its stores
nationwide this Sunday, February 17 and Monday, February 18 (Presidents'
Day).  Individuals and businesses can bring in their old computer equipment,
including monitors and hard drives.  There is no charge for this service.
Through a partnership with Gifts in Kind International, computers will be
refurbished and given to children's organizations in communities across the
country.  Computers that are unable to be rebuilt "will be recycled
responsibly to generate reusable materials," according to the press release.
To find the locations of Staples stores, see their website at:
http://www.staples.com   Click on "Find a Store" at the top.  If you click
on "United States" and give your city or zip code, it will find the closest
stores, and will give their address and phone number.  To confirm store
hours and whether they will accept a certain type of computer equipment
(especially anything unusual), people can call the store directly.
People who bring in old computer equipment to Staples during this event can
receive a $100 savings on a new computer with an Intel Pentium 4 processor,
or $20 off a purchase of $100 or more for other Staples products purchased
during those two days.
