The Wake Co. landfill on Durant Rd. has a section for computers, monitors, 
batteries, etc.... note this is NOT to say the stuff goes in the landfill. 
It is a separate collection area where they collect the stuff and then send 
it off for proper recycling.  They take almost everything there like 
drywall, construction stuff, oils, paper, household chemicals, tires, 
etc...
