Our city landfill has an area to off load any electronic equipment - computers, microwave, TV, etc. No cost to you to drop your stuff off there so that is real convenient for the home user.

But, before doing that you really need to run a Killdisk type utility, at least 3 times, to wipe your hard drive clean. We do this with our office computers before sending them off to surplus. (We don't bother putting an OS back on them either. The lucky person who buys them dirt cheap can do that.) Just deleting the files, or even writing over them with other files, just isn't enough.
