I worked for one of the 'recycling' centers, and a suprizing number of the items we processed were still in good working condition. Most of the computers were sent to people in the underpriviledged bracket of technology, or to third world countries where a 233mhz machine is hot stuff.
It's also funny to note that a lot of buisnesses tried to get around the ~$10 processing fee we charged by dumping their things there during the night, and hightailing it away. (Ironically, they paid more, since we called the police and they were tracked down and forced to pay a higher fine.)
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
