I think the problem is that it would cost more in petrol and manpower than it's really economically worth for just the one PC from residential property. At least with a small business there may be several or more PCs of course they really make their money when going to coroporate customers who need to get rid of upwards of several hundred PCs.

We have had a new desktop computer built by a local shop which is being delivered tomorrow evening. He has put us in touch with a local charity, Operation sunshine, who take redundant computers. We have two systems we wish to dispose of, but they are only interested in the working system we are replacing with the new one. we have another computer we cannot access as it doesn't boot up and won't recognise the hard disk. the charity will take any components except the monitor. I was told we would have to dispose of that ourselves as they are charged if they take it to the local dump if not required. what has happened to recycling of old systems? does anyone have ideas what we can do about the non-working PC? suggestion most welcome. thanks in advance.
