Having worked with many non-profit organizations like the SPCA, etc. donated computers can be a huge asset. If you can, try and find a new home for the computer, and if not, then I would ensure it gets recycled...not simply trashed. Our landfills are full enough.

Improperly trashing it is poor for the environment. I would either recycle it (many larger retailers have programs), try to sell it, or I would post it on freecycle or a similar site in order to donate it/give it away.

Many computer stores take in old computers and recycle them! This I would do! Use less, Recycle, Reuse! My motto.

Sell it if it works {$50-$100) or donate it to charity.

The goodwill has a good regeneration program for computers.
