Proper Disposal Of Old PCs?

IMNTPC writes "Over the years, I've advanced from a 386DX-33 to a Celeron 1.3 Ghz system. I've slowly been accumulating enough old parts that now I think it's time to start disposing of anything that predates a Pentium 166. Does anyone know of a good place that will properly dispose/recycle of these old parts and PCs for little or no money? So far I've found pcdisposal.com, but anyone know of any others, either online or physical dropoff points in major metropolitan areas?"

Two options

You have two options: donation and recycling.

If the parts work, there's quite a few organizations that would like to ship your old components to places like West Africa for all the GN's there and so on. The trick, however, is to use it to write off some REALLY hefty tax deductions -- your old 386 is still worth the $3000 you paid for it in the eyes of the IRS :)

But if they're broken, and you don't feel like giving away dead parts to cheat taxes either, recycle them and make a few bucks. Here's a list of places:
