<font face="arial">I just disposed of a lot of equipment at the Hennepin county drop off in Brooklyn Park (2 cars to deliver). Now, on their website they do say "5" items per person, per calendar year. I called and spoke with someone at their office who explained to me that this was 5 items per category, not 5 items total. In other words 5 printers + 5 monitors +5 computers + 5 TVs, etc..<br><br>However, when I did arrive there I got hassled a lot by the staff, who I had to constantly tell them that this was not from a business, and that I was told directly from their own office I was allowed the 5 items per category. Suffice to say they did not understand that some tech geeks tend to collect lots of equipment over time. Hell, I was disposing of 500mhz computers, and printers collected over 10 years. <br><br>What you can do is maybe list anything that could still be of use here, and some may take it. Then, list some on Craigslist. After simply organize the collection to 5 items per category and prepare to argue you way through the gates of hell/Hennepin County recycling and simply explain that this is items collected over a 10-15 year span. Just remember what they really care about is insuring you are not a business skirting the rules and trying to avoid paying. Go down during the weekday, and if they really hassle you then demand they call their office to confirm the rules for residents. I forgot the woman's name I spoke with, but it was something like Louisa Rodriquez? Definitely either Hispanic name.<br><br>At Thursday, 08-07-2010 on 7:48 Kathryn Hogg wrote:<br><blockquote style="border-width: 0pt 0pt 0pt 2px; border-style: none none none solid; border-color: -moz-use-text-color -moz-use-text-color -moz-use-text-color rgb(34, 67, 127); padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 5px;">Hennepin County residents can drop off electronics for free at either of<br>
