Help
Okay so, I have an old Desktop PC and a laptop. The laptop is basically crap, as it overheats and the power cord isn't stable. (constantly shutdowns if the cord is even touched). Now my problem is, I can't find any place to recycle this nearby unless I want to go for a nice drive and i don't want to throw it away and get fined for it.... Is there anything I can do to make use out of them. They are just sitting around. I need ideas! If anything I'll just give the Desktop to my sister. She can get some minimal use out of it.
Basically I just want to put a nail through the HDs and get rid of it, but no one will take it! rawr Yes I could donate them, but I don't feel like formatting them 10x to make sure they're clean of personal info

Ebay auction. (remove hard drives). Sell both together. Put the shipping high enough to cover shipping cost. The rest is gravy.

You could donate it and take out the hard drive before giving it.
