In the DC area you can donate them to Project Reboot
(http://reboot.cpcug.org/), which will refurbish them and sell them at
incredibly low cost to those less fortunate than we. Here's an excerpt from
their website:
"Project Reboot accepts computer hardware and software donations at
ourworkshop/storage facility in Rockville, MD, from individuals, companiesand
government agencies. There our volunteers (some experienced, somejust learning)
refurbish it after testing, repair, and upgrades.Hardware with current
operating system software is then donated at verylow cost to non-profit,
educational, religion-based, and charitableorganizations. We help schools,
senior centers, religiousorganizations, and other groups that work with low and
moderate incomefamilies, and other needy, local clients...Usually the only
charge to the receipient is a nominal cash fee to cover expenses and software
licensing, typically $10,"

Subject: Disposing old computers
What's the best way to get rid of old computers? I have 3 old WinBook
business laptops which were taken out of service many years ago and
have been just sitting around. The data has been deleted but that's
all. Recommendations please.
Thanks in advance,
Richard P.
