Someone mentioned a resource in Hillsborough. If you're in Pinellas,
there is a hazardous waste facility (as in computer stuff) in St Pete,
and as far as I know it's the only one. They do periodic "mobile" events
where they come to some other city and cart away everyone's junk. There
was one about three weeks ago at the Home Depot on Gulf-To-Bay in
Clearwater. I never would have believed so many people would show up for
something like this, but the line of cars was wrapped half way around
the store.
I don't know precisely where the facility is in St Pete, but you could
probably call your local authorities, and they could tell you.
