Hi,

I was just going to say the same thing.

http://www.crd.bc.ca/es/recycling_guide/facilityDetails.aspx?id=59

The cost is 1 dollar per computer up to a maximum of 5 dollars. And $10
for each monitor. Which I think is a small price to pay for the
environment. Last time I brought a monitor I did not have to pay
anything for the computers. Also they take all types of electronics
VCRs, old stereos, tv sets....They also take all types of plastics.
