I have a frankencloud of old re-purposed laptops that have become firewalls, storage servers, build servers, and VM hosts to run scripts and bits of automation. I donate excess computers I don't need anymore that are in serviceable condition to local charities: there are lots of under-served communities that need laptops and routers and modems in this day and age with remote learning during lockdowns, etc. The rest I try to tear down for useable parts (to keep the frankencloud running) and the rest I recycle as best I can.
