What to do about old laptops?

[Relative]

I've got two old laptops that are breaking down and almost worthless, and that I don't have any use for, even as a simple file server. Any recommendations on how I get rid of these things!? Toss them into a local dump after wiping the HDDs?

a) Smash the hard-disks up if you're paranoid or have some uber secretz data, take the laptops to an appropriate recycling/refuse centre for disposal.

b) Ebay them for such a low amount that it just isn't worth it.

c) Bin, forget, native american sheds a tear for the environment...

I'd go for a) but I'd make sure there weren't any bits that people would pay for first.

list on ebay, just make sure the postage covers any postage cost. You might make a bit.
