Computers and other electronics contain cadmium, lead, and brominated fire retardants and plastics that do not decompose normally and have a toxic breakdown. Tossing electronics in the trash is not an 'out of sight out of mind' deal. it can definately come back and haunt you b/c it can lead the the contamination of local water supplies etc. Step 1
Quite possibly the easiest way to get rid of old electronics is to list them on craigslist under the free section. Even broken electronics usually have valuable parts that can be salvaged or refurbed. Many people know how to "pick n' pull" electronics and make a living or supplement their income by doing so. I'm sure there are plenty of people who would be willing to take them off your hands. You could even try listing them for a small profit. This idea is great for someone busy or immobile b/c this takes the traveling part out of the equation most people from craigslist come pick the items up themselves.
