Try you local primary schools or a charity

Have a look through the list of Charities in the local Thompson directory.

Be advised however, that you probably have to pay them to take them, as we had to do recently.

The local hospice charged £5 per PC and £10 per monitor. We had over 30 monitors to dispose of, and 12 base units.

Apparently, some companies which take old kit container it off to Africa and India. One of the chaps mentioned that the Indians convert the CRT monitors in to tellies.

In my old permie role we ended up with about 40 CRT monitors to get rid of. In the end a school took most of them, but we found out that schools are reluctant to take old computer equipment as they have to pay to have them electrically tested.

Our local tip recycles them if they get to them before the pikeys and chavs

Sell them on ebay. Some tosser always buys the kit.

Milan would still manage to lose the auction.
