I have a couple of working old computers 2GB hard drive, 256 MD RAM etc (obselete now), and bulky monitors. I don’t think anybody would be interested in them anymore and I feel that I cannot donate them. How do I dispose them off in an eco friendly manner (without harming the environment)?

You can donate it to non-profits, a friend, or other places.

You can also call the company that created the computer and see if they offer re-collection of old systems (if it’s a Compaq, that’s HP now; Packard-Bell is HP; eMachines is also Gateway).

Since you can’t get rid of it in a landfill because its components have lead and mercury, call your city administration building (city hall or 311 in most areas) to ask them if the city or county offers electronics recycling programs.
