The above link is the EPA's information page about how to Donate/Recycle your old computer equipment. It should be helpful to you.

In Portland we have an organization called Free Geek that recycles used computers.

Many companies give them to thier employees.

Donate them to charity. (Salvation Army, St Vincent DePaul, ARC, etc...)

Many Charities do not accept monitors, but charge to take them.

Set up a thin client network. I use this for replacing our older green screen terminals.

Before you give them away wipe the harddrives, because you don't know what corporate secrets are located on them.

If you have this stuff from a business then it is mostly sold all at Auction. If it's your own personal gear you can always sell the working bits on E Bay you'll be surprised at what some people will pay for P3 CPU and the like.

The other suggestions are all good pay particular attention to the requirements on recycling used computer equipment as there are laws coming/or currently in place that is going to prevent this from ending up as Landfill because of the potential pollution problems.

My company "donates" to Public libraries or other worthwhile (taxexempt)organizations excess equipment. The non-working pieces go to tech training facilities to attempt repair and be donated, re-used, or recycled. But you need to change corporate policy to enable you to accomplish this.

Other companies require it to be shipped to a central point and then it is disposed through their EPA approved recyclier.
