We get a lot of questions on what libraries should do with old, retired computers. If you’re not going to re-use the machine for something else (a children’s computer, OPAC station, quick e-mail station, open source server, etc.) then it might be a good idea to recycle that resource.
I found the following list of businesses that accept computers for recycling. Some of them may charge a small fee to recycle the computer/monitor for you, but it will be worth it to not have all of that plastic, chemicals, and precious metal go into the lanfill.
