I was fumbling around on the internet and came across this Dec 13 press release from Dell. It says that Dell recycles old computers (any brand), free of charge, anywhere in the world. The memo notes that they've offered this service in the US/Europe since 2004 or so. This sounds like a great program, but I wonder who knows about it? I wonder if our own state DEP knows about it?
That press release fits quite well with a letter to the editor in today's Wall Street Journal. The letter is from Cheshire's own Dan Esty. His compelling letter describes the financial woes of GM being due partly to their failure to incorporate environmentally-friendly practices into the core operations (such as reducing emissions), while other companies make green (GEs windmills & Toyota's Prius) by going green.
Hot off the rumor mill... CYB & Thomas Brooks Little League are merging. This has very positive implications for the proposed ballfield complex at the corner of Jarvis and Highland.
The Senior Tax Relief study committee is moving forward with their work (Cheshire Herald, by Leslie Hutchison).
And lastly, let's keep the comments respectful. OK?

I agree. We need to reduce the use over on Wiese.
As for the yanks... bah, humbug! No... actually, I haven't paid attention to anything in the offseason (other than Matsuzaka), so I have no idea how things are shaping up.

Tim, the state schedules free recycling of all electronics (computers, old TVs, etc.) every other month or so and has been doing it for a while. The most recent one was at Edison Middle School in Meriden. The one before that was in Wallingford. They are advertised in the Herald--usually about a 1/4 page ad.
