Recycle old computer components

Hi all

I have a load of old computer components like motherboards and cases and CRT monitors that I no longer need.

Is there anywhere (in London) that I can take them, maybe a scrappy that might be able to give me even a little bit of money for them? I have tried eBay a couple of times, it seems nobody wants them!

Being a uni student, I'd like to have a little extra money over the xmas period - so I thought I'd have a little clear out and found a whole load of bits I probably won't use again, and could do with the cash!

Any information would be gratefully received :-)

Thanks in advance!!!

    No one will buy CRT monitors off you anymore - you could possibly try and donate them to charity to go out to Affrica but even they are getting choosy now!

    Best bet is take them to your local tip / recycling centre. They should have a special container to put them in - never put them in normal refuse as they are technically classed as hazadous waste.
