Can anyone help me - I have an old laptop and a notebook that I need to dispose of. Does anyone know if there is somewhere here to recycle them and how to remove all personal data & pics as both do not switch on properly?
Thanks

If you had anything interesting on the computers, the best is to remove the harddrives and then destroy the harddrives.
The next best is a wipe utility, such as this: http://www.killdisk.com/downloadfree.htm

Donate your computer for peace! International Women's NGO in Geneva needs your old computer!
********************
The Women's international League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) is a non governmental organization founded in 1915, which encourages women's involvement in peace building and disarmament.
In this time of financial crisis, NGOs are hurting the most. In order to keep our office running, we are in dire need of more/better computers and cannot afford to buy them new.
If you have an old desktop or laptop computer (prefferably less than 3-4 years old) that you would like to donate to a good cause please contact us ASAP! We would be happy to pick it up from you in the Geneva area. Donations are tax deductable :)
Call or write us at:
Tel. 022 919 70 80
email: katherin(at)wilpf.ch
visit our website at www.wilpf.int.ch

Best Wishes!

Hi,
I am writing to you because I saw your post on a thread about getting rid of old computers. we have a lot of old screens at my office with citrix boxes attached to them.
Are you still getting rid of old computers? would this be of interest to you?
Please get back to me as we desperately need to get rid of them
Thank you
Idil
