I checked with my local recycling centre in Athlone and the guy said that once you pay your money and enter the site, everything belongs to the company that runs it. However they sometimes turn a 'blind eye' if someone is taking something. The guy did tell me that they cannot let any pc's leave the site as people complained of unwelcome contact from companies who got their details off the hard drive and also details of friends. I don't know a lot about computers but I presume to protect your identity it would be essential to delete everything before recycling a pc?
