People keep asking where they can recycle their old PCs, so I have compiled a list of facilities here. Check their websites for contact details, equipment accepted and delivery/pickup options.

• Spider's Web IT [1] (SWIT for short) is a Brighton-based community group which helps adults with learning difficulties, physical disabilities or visual impairment problems gain access to free computers.
• Computers for Charities [2] offers IT-related advice and support to registered charities and voluntary organisations. Its projects cover a broad and growing remit, from initiating educational programmes in developing countries to basic skills vocational training in UK Prisons.
• recycle-it [3] is the largest national not-for-profit computer recycling company. They provide low cost computers for voluntary groups, charities, churches and worship centres, educational establishments, disabled people, and embryonic businesses. They also provide training and work experience for the long term unemployed.
• Oxfam [4] At present, OXFAM can only accept computer equipment from companies and organisations which meets a particular specification, and where there is sufficient volume to warrant a free collection service.
• Computer-Aid International [5] has shipped over 50,000 PCs to over 90 different countries in the last 6 years. The majority of these have gone to schools and community organisations in sub-Saharan Africa. They have also shipped thousands to Latin America and the South Asian sub-continent.
• Digital Links [6] (Minimum donation of 25 units.) Digital Links was founded with the vision of giving people in the developing world access to information technology to improve their lives. It secures the donation of redundant PCs from private and public corporations in the UK, refurbishes them and provides them at low cost to schools, charities, community organisations and small enterprises in developing countries.
• Free Computers for Education [7] is a registered charity set up to collect computers that are no longer needed by industry, save them from being smashed up and dumped in landfill sites, have them professionally refurbished, and then give them free of charge to schools in need via local Rotary Clubs.
• The Regional Electronics Initiative [8](REI) is a not-for-profit network of independent computer refurbishment centres, working together to deliver a service to businesses with added benefits to communities and the environment. They refurbish and recycle IT equipment which might otherwise have been thrown away, and also provide training and employment opportunities for people in the Yorkshire and Humber region, to help social and economic regeneration.
• Tools for Schools [9] is a not-for-profit business founded on a single mission: to give every school child in the UK access to a personal computer wherever and whenever they need one.
