    Try www.wastecare.co.uk

    They will pick it up for you. It's possible that they might give you something for it depending upon what they do with it (recycle, sell, crucsh and extract precious metals)

    Have already cleaned the hard disk but not sure how to get rid of it. Dont like the idea of just taking it down the tip!!

    I'd recommend Sainsburys in Walton-On-Thames.

    Ebay

    Ebay has done more for recycling than all the Greens in the world put together. If you can get enough to cover the postage that's the route to go.

    I hate throwing stuff away, but I also hate keeping it around the house. Was disappointed a couple of years ago when I had to throw away a perfectly functioning CRT monitor because (after checking on ebay) it was worth less than the cost of postage, and no-one I knew wanted it. I could still remember how many hundred pounds it had cost when new.
