im new here on jumbletown but i have been collecting old pc's and parts from people,schools,offices etc then stripping them down a re-building them to give away to people who really need them.
I find most people are very generous because they realise the good thats been done
others especially schools and office's are not so willing to let go of equipment due to privacy concerns , they rather pay alot of money for professional data destroyers to delete there harddrives. where i can do it for free and in half the time . but what i come accross so often is that you have to have all the paperwork,certs etc
as for the dump/recycling centre as noted in previous posts
once an item is left for recycling it is then owned by that centre thats the only rule which applies to all recycling centres
each centre can differ from county to county
as for taking anything from centres , i would always ask first.
better be safe than sorry.
