    Old Computer disposal

    Hi folks

    I have a lot of old/broken computers and other computing kit.

    I want to dispose of it all, not by simply dumping it, but giving it away so it can be reused. No charge.

    I am in the UK (Kent) and would like it collected.

    Anyone know of anyone who may want to make use of it all?

    You may be able to find somebody who can do something with that at the UK Freecycle group: http://www.freecycle.org/group/UK/
    May the FOSS be with you!
