Green Disk
I found this great company called Green Disk that will recycle my technology trash. Unfortunately, their site is a bit klunky. When trying to place an order, I received the following error:
Credit Card Authorization Failed. The following field(s) are invalid: (totalGrand)
For some reason, the items I had ordered did not save to my shopping cart. I was able to overcome this issue by clicking “update cart” before checking out. This saved the items in my cart, and allowed me to place the order. I’m posting this because I get the sense that many users are experiencing the same problem (based on my conversation with green disk tech support). I like what they are doing at Green Disk, so I am hoping this post will help someone else to use their site. Maybe Green Disk will read this and actually fix the problem.

You can also drop off your monitor and/or PC at any Southeastern WI or Metro Chicago store for free. They are now partnered with a e-cycling company that actually pays GW a small fee for each item collected. (They salvage the copper and metals used inside)
Everyone wins… you get your old PC junk taken off your hands and Goodwill gets some money for their programs and service to help individuals with barriers gain employment.

Whoops, guess I should have proof read first. You can drop it off at a “Goodwill” Southeastern WI or Metro Chicago store. Sorry.
