Last time we disposed of computer equipment, we took it to the "dump" where a recycling company periodically took a special container and recycled the electronics. I don't know if the waste disposal company is doing that still, but it wouldn't hurt to check with your waste disposal company. We had donated computers in the past to the school district, but as the school district only accepted the better computers, it was a lot of work to figure out what they would and wouldn't take, and we still had to dispose of the older computers anyway. One of the best things about recycling with the disposal company was the recyclers said they'd take anything electronic, so we were able to recycle an old refrigerator-sized UPS.
