10. I didn't think about Goodwill - they have at least one store here

That specializes in computer stuff. I'll call them Monday. While I know it would be a nuisance to them, I will likely just take the hard drives out. Dad kept a lot of sensitive financial records on his computers, including social security for family members numbers and FEI numbers for family businesses. I will not take a chance on someone else's - or even my - ability to wipe a drive thoroughly.

Most of the material is books, several hundred pounds of them, but I guess they can go into recycling. My sister works with the Friends of the Library and set up for a dumpster to recycle books they couldn't sell (or stuff they don't want to sell like Bill O'Reilly books ). The company that does that pays them for the material so they still make something on them.
