Methods For Computer And Monitor Disposal?

Posted by Cliff on from the being-environmentally-friendly dept.

po_boy asks: "given the recent law passed in Massachusetts, which prevents people from just throwing away old computers and monitors, I was wondering what some of the alternative ways of disposing old hardware are. Ideally, I'd like to be able to help an organization by giving them my old hardware, but I understand that I hold on to my hardware so long and cannibalize it so much that often it is of no use to anyone when I no longer want it. What, then, is the best way to dispose of my hardware in order to ensure that it will be at least recycled if not re-used?"
