    Well, good on you for not just dumping them.

    Have you checked with your municipal trash service about household hazmat collections? If they won’t come and get them, there’s often a place you can take consumer electronics.

    Also, there’s probably some type of computer recycling entity in your area. The last time I checked the one closest to me charged a small fee to take monitors (because they may have to in turn dispose of it).

    I have a small slide rule collection–perhaps four or five pieces.

    My larger collection is fountain pens. This ranges from modern pieces to ones dating back to the nineteenth century.
