There's a program called Reconnect that matches up zip codes to places that you can drop your electronics off for recycling for free. Goodwill Industries is participating in the program, so for most of us, it's real easy to drop off your "dead" electronics. They don't need to work.
When these items are placed in landfills, they contain hazardous materials that we don't want in the ground and water supplies, so it's a really good deed to make sure they get recycled.
Reconnect accepts any brand of used computer equipment in any condition. They also accept just about anything that can be connected to a computer. More info about Reconnect and zip code search in case you want to check out some other area of the country.
I contacted Goodwill to find out if the Lake Monticello location at Turkeysag Gate was one of the places that accepted computers and they said it was. So that makes it VERY EASY! More info on Goodwill.
