The rest goes to the dump where they now have a recycling area set up for electronics.

That's how they "recycle" up there.

I physically transplant the hard drive and memory, recycle the rest. I keep the "classic" stuff like my old sheetmetal KayPro with the amber monitor, CP/m operating system, and 64k of RAM in case there's a nuclear war that wipes out civilization as we know it and I have to drop it on someone's head to steal their food.

If I remember correctly the EPA banned all solid state circuitry going to the dump.   It has to go to a recycler.   Reason   Lead in the soder connections poluting the ground water.   Also there is some gold in there if you know where to find it.


YUP!
I have 200 computers & 23 switches & 4 routers to get rid of... damn thats going to cost a lot if I cant get a school to pick it up.
