I put all my old pc's on free cycle. There's always someone looking for an old pc to fix up.

pop it on ebay as faulty for spares/repair

take you hard disk out, or someone might recycle your data

Electrical waste doesn't go to landfill. Take it to your local tip/recycling centre and it will be processed accordingly, as long as you don't chuck it in the general waste zone.
The tower unit (what you are calling the 'processor') will have lots of working parts that any PC enthusiast can recycle though.
Monitor/printer/keyboard are not really repairable.

Until recently some people round here used to dump their desktops in the street. But now they have laptops I don't see so many. I've harvested quite a few sata/pata harddrives and other parts as spares.

Take it into PcWorld, they'll take the HDD out and give it to you, or they'll send it back with the faulties for the HDD to be smashed and the parts will be recycled as part of the WEEE.
