My last company used to throw away old PCs. The rules forbade them from 
giving kit to a non-charity. If a suitable charity were to come forward,
I think that I could make an introduction.

The requirement would be that you'd take ALL the crap that they were
chucking, and sign something about being environmentally responsible.
You'd also have to arrange transport from the Thames Valey. The batches
I saw tended to be 5-10 desktops (486 vintage or early Pentiums).

Contact me off-list if you're interested.
