The amount of waste out there like this is tragic. I could understand destroying hard drives, but the rest of the hardware?

If you saw it when we had to destroy on site it would make you cry. 60' of servers in 2 rows and we would roll a forklift over them. The most we did was 3 sets of rows in a day.
