They take "free" hardware donations, but also suggest a monetary donation to properly dispose of it. See: http://freegeektwincities.org/donate Another nice thing about FreeGeek is that they reuse as much of it as possible and build computers to be given to volunteers (who learn as they volunteer) and other people who need them.
