disposing of non-working laser printers?

hi

Any advice please? I have 2 old Konica Minolta large laser printers that no longer work and are taking up space at home. Have put them on ebay as spares/repairs and also on freecycle - but no takers at all!

Where is the best place to get rid of them? Didn't want to take them to the tip as they may be useful for someone - but is that the only way of getting rid of them?

Thanks

    well, where in the world are you, what models are they and why don't they work?

    if they are fixable i'm SURE that there are companies who would be interested (or indeed individuals)

    Bought one off ebay for spares & repairs
    The other one packed up about a year ago & has been replaced with smaller and newer printer...

    Gumtree also has a free stuff section, and it's free to post.

    Luckily here we have a local charity that takes anything electric and sells it for scrap/recycling. Might there be somewhere like that in your area?
