Somebody found 5 very old laptops. None of them work, have power cords, or batteries. I have been given the task of getting rid of them. I have never had to get rid of laptops before. CPU's we gut and toss and I have a connection that will take old monitors, but not laptops. So what do you do with old non-working laptops???
Any suggestions would be helpful.

If the laptop is so old that I can't do anything with it, and or if it is just destroyed.

I just toss either toss it or try to donate it to one of the technical schools in the area.

If you toss it, take the batteries out of them.

I take my old batteries to home depot's tool center. They have a recycle bin for old tool batteries. They are basically the same type of rechargable battery.
