A new home for those coasters...

Tired of getting all those AOL CDs in the mail? While searching for places to drop-off trash and other unwanted things, I came across this site.

The portion I found particularly amusing was the following:

Bay Area tech workers Jim McKenna and John Lieberman are trying to persuade America Online to stop inundating the world with its software CDs by depositing 1 million unwanted CDs on AOL's doorstep. You can help the effort by sending unbroken AOL, CompuServe and Netscape discs to No More AOL CDs, 1601 Navellier St., El Cerrito, CA 94530. See www.nomoreaolcds.com.

These guys are so close I could swing by and drop them off in person if I wanted.

So, anyone local have a recommendation as to how to get rid of a lot of trash? Even with the carload of computer components that abditus took into today to a computer recycling center, we still have loads of stuff that is not even yard sale worthy, and not enough room in our trash can.

You could load it up into the station wagon and drive around until you find the neighborhood which happens to be next on the special Curbside Takeaway. Then slyly add your own detritus to the rest of the neighborhood's rubble.

We did that when I moved out of the Richmond place.

Or you could try to slip it into the trash bin of a Target or other large chain store.

martinez transfer station. But that will cost some money. There is the El Cerrito Recycling Center for things that are vaguely recyclable, including stuff that's hard to recycle elsewhere.

Maybe someone would want some of it...
