went curb shopping in Kennebunk on trash day this past summer, drove home from vacation with a full load of electronics. wife wasn't exactly pleased. But as Copper Head says, if you're out in Stephen King country, forget garbage picking. Rural New Englanders tend to fix, re-use, re-purpose, save, store stuff forever. You can look for dumping areas on public land, park land, recently preserved farmland, abandoned mill sites or sand and gravel pits within state game lands...you'll find some old iron out there. You could also stumble on some old Mainer with rotting appliances on the side of his shed, offer up a percentage of your yard ticket, that sort of thing. Or reach out to the computer department at one of the many little colleges dotted around the state, offer to pay a couple bucks for old PCs, then strip and ship. All you need to do is use a little of your "Yankee ingenuity"!
