Reputable laptop recycling

Hi I have a packard bell laptop/netbook (think its a 13" screen) which is about 3 years old but has a faulty power connection.

I no longer need the laptop as I have acquired a new one, does anyone know of an envirophone/mazuma type service for laptops? I'm really not expecting much value wise.

A quick google brought up a few results but would feel much better using a recommended site.

Thanks

    no real suggestions, bar ebay.

    Just wanted to say that you make sure all your personal data is both deleted, removed from trash, then erased.

    stick it spares & repairs on ebay, make sure you list what you think the fault is, then someone (like me) who can sort a power jack out will buy it and fix it up :)

    use the restore pa\rtition and/or recovery disks to take it back to factory settings first :)

    I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple :D
