David and company:

For recycling, Atlas Recycling at 1100 Umatilla (near Colfax and I-25; http://www.atlasmetalandiron.com ) will take computer components minus keyboards and monitors.  The more divided or separated things are, the better they will pay you.  They pay quite well for the copper, gold plating (RAM modules), hard drives, and computer boards, as well as your typical soda cans, soup cans, and such if you want to diversify your trip some there.  Again, separation of the metals, higher paying results. ;-)  Most of the metal recycling groups take their stuff here, so why pay the middle man when you can go for the source. B-)

HTH.
