Contacting your local environmental health office of your council would be best.

i called the council, and they were very grateful for the donation i made

aparently, unused computer parts can be salvaged and then made into pants little computers for orphanages and stuff. so i donated all of it

maybe anyone else with some unwanted parts could do the same, i feel very happy about the choice i made instead of takeing it down the tip

Personally, i like to rip all the chips off the parts, cover them in chocolate then hand them to anyone who dare to knock on my door on halloween, so if you've got any motherboards going spare with lots of sharp pieces on i'll be glad to take them off you hands.

On the same note, and marbles or lego would be gratefully received.
