I met with the 15 or so people from MEETinROCHESTER<\/a><\/strong>\"MySpace<\/a> at Regional Computer Recycling and Recovery (RCR&R)<\/a><\/strong> (7318 Victor-Mendon Rd.<\/a>, Victor) for the tour of the recycling facilities. We met with Director of Client Services Charlie McKernan<\/strong> who showed us around. He says their shop holds itself to high standards of recycling and environmental responsibility. They also have a fancy internal tracking system that can track parts from their source systems right to where they get recycled. The facility itself was a tech-nerd playground — a warehouse full of vintage computer systems. I was dismayed to see them go, but I do understand that for industrial applications, they are terribly inefficient. At least they are getting selected for resale and\/or disposed of in a good way.<\/p>\n

Thankfully for all of us drooling at the piles of neat stuff, they do sell working systems out of Rochester Computer Recycling Store<\/a><\/strong> (395 Central Ave.<\/a>) and through their Electronics Café eBay Store<\/a><\/strong>. They accept computerized consumer electronics — mostly computers, but things like DVD players and TV's as well but not hairdryers or bread-makers — from individuals to corporations. They even do secure data destruction.<\/p>\n

It's remarkable that such a cool place exists right here in town.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
