We took a lot of our really old stuff (386 Eduquests with no hard drives,
donated equipment that didn't work, etc.) to Computers Plus (formerly VEES) in
Williston.  They use what they can, recycle parts, etc.  They charge a fee,
but gave us a decent deal for a truck load of 'stuff.'  Also, Chittenden Solid
Waste was running a trial program this summer -- we had a letter about it
here, but had already sent our stuff out.  They were charging $5 a unit to
properly dispose of them. There's another similar program elsewhere in Vermont
-- seems like it was in the Northern part of the state?  Don't know if they
charge there, too.
