___________

If the hard drive is still functional ( that particular model iMac was down for hard drive failure over time) then yes, it would be useful to someone. It will not move to the latest version of the OS (Big Sur) however it will at the very least, take MacOS 10.13 High Sierra or even possibly macOS Catalina 10.15 which would make it plenty useful for someone. If you'd like to recycle it however, you can use this link to see if it is eligible.

Do you wipe and recylce computers?

Do you recycle old computers?
___________

Yes. I charge $20 per laptop and $40 per desktop. I will wipe and remove the drives then recycle those separately. I only pickup recyclables in conjunction with a previously scheduled session.

How do I recycle old devices?

Do you have a particular printer you like?
___________

All printers are terrible. Let's get that out of the way first. Secondly, if I am being forced to buy a printer (under protest) then I'm going to get an HP Officejet 6000-8000 series. Anything in that range is adequate.

DO NOT enroll in HP's "insta-ink" scheme. Its basically a dirty subscription service that has treated it's customers so badly, I'm just about ready to hire monks to chisel my documents out in stone instead of print.

I agree with these guys:
