If it's not working, they charge ~$10 to cover disposal costs, but anything that *does* work can be recycled and donated to people in need. http://freegeek.org "Helping the needy get nerdy" If you’re fortunate enough to be in the Portland, OR area, you can take just about anything computer-related to Free Geek.

We have an organization in the Phoenix area that helps recycle computer systems. Check out <a href="http://www.azstrut.org./" rel="nofollow">www.aztrut.org./</a> to see our sponsors. My students get computer systems from AZStRUT and refurbish, upgrade, and donate them to schools and non-profit organizations. We gladly accept any computer systems, working or not, as we have a partnership with Westech Recyclers in Phoenix to recycle non-usable systems. So . . . things get donated or recycled correctly.

I am wondering though, where can I get rid of some non-working computer related parts such as expansion cards, power supplies, motherboards, old cases, printers, etc.? I would really prefer not to pay to get rid of them. I am in the Triad area of North Carolina. Thanks! Great article for me and my old systems.

They are one of the few schools in Tanzania to have a computer lab. They love to receive useful stuff like old computers. http://schoolstjude.blogspot.com/ The School of St Jude in Tanzania is totally supported by sponsors.

You could install smoothwall linux, put 2 network cards in it, and replace your hardware router. The possibilities are endless. one other alternative is playing with linux - most older machines are plenty powerful enough to run linux, and you can have a fully functional, internet ready machine for free.
