Made a few phone calls today. First I called the City of Houston who told me to call someone at the Westpark Recycling Center. The person at Westpark says all of the computers that come into there go to a company called Scrap Computers and gave me their number.
I called the person at Scrap Computers and he was very receptive to selling old Macs. He gets them "all of the time" including 68Ks, through iMacs. Normally what comes in is "processed" immediately - meaning they are crushed for metals and such. He invited me to come to the facility tomorrow to meet in person and maybe work out a deal.
This could finally be the deal I've been looking to make to stop Macs from being crushed. I'm sure there's working and non-working so some can be parted out where I can offer reasonable parts prices in comparison to the eBay sellers. Working ones would be sold whole if at all possible. Even if I had to part out working ones for some reason, it's still a step above the stuff being crushed for metals.
