I'm looking to dump a mobo that no longer works. I'm also looking to dispose of it in a more appropriate way than just throwing it in with the rest of the trash in the house. Are there any electronic recycling programs in/near York that I can take advantage of?

Look at this as a way to promote Fites as a leading supporter of your local eco-friendly recycling program! ...... or something. Dammit, I want another soda.

Since we have some others here from non-York areas, I`ll suggest:

http://www.freegeekpenn.org/

They even give you a free system for helping tear down old comps.

I used to have several DOA motherboards. I put an ad on Craigslist in the free section. Had a guy come get them up. You could try giving them to teachers to use as teaching tools. There is a guy in Harrisburg who runs a organization called RebootPa. I only have a email for him though.

There is a recycling place here in Tyrone too.  www.reclamere.com  They charge you to drop stuff off though.  Kind of makes it not worth it in my eyes.
Never, but never question the engineers judgement.

OMG JESSE! ROFLCHOPPER what a douche...thats freakin halarious

Yeah, i'd rather take lighter fluid and burn my DoA mobo, pound it into oblivion with a sledge then pick up the pixie ashes and dump them over the 30 bridge before I give it to him. He's just going to do the same thing you are so u might as well save the gas money. Plus talk to him for 5 sec about computers and you'll see how much of a fake this guy really is...what memory has clock speeds? He's a joke case in point
