Disposing old parts

got some old P3 parts lying around that i need to get rid of but dont know how i go about disposing/recycling them, thought this would be a good place to ask

has anyone else had to do this?

Contact your council, they have recycling depots where you can take computer parts etc..., may be a one near to you, which reminds me, got some old stuff like cases, mobo's etc... to take along to mine.

ah yes, i thought there was some kind of law about this (reason for posting really)

seems a bit of a shame to 'waste' all these components that were once worth big bucks

get in touch with your local freecycle centre they will take them and put them to good use

Gotta go with Freecycle on this one too, have given a lot of stuff to the needy (and not so needy) through them.
