I put it in the trash and forget about it. Recycling is too hard and probably will cost more to end up in the same landfill, nobody really need yet another aging piece of hardware, and I don't need money especially if I need to spend time trying to find buyers. I wouldn't mind giving it, but it's not something people do much here, and I'd rather pay taxes to organize rather than pay some religious charity who would help people only if they give their soul in exchange. I have thrown very little hardware the last 10 years, because I buy long term, have small desires, don't buy MACs or anything that has to follow some sort of replacement fashion (but that's why my stuff wouldnt have much resell value anyway), or it's hard drive, and I dont dare throwing away hard drives here in China hehehe. I have a full 4x2TB and 4x10TB set of NAS hardrives that I had to keep in store when I moved to 4x18TB (Ultrastar <3), that's probably the only thing I have to find what to do with now. Video cards, I change when they break, and do throw them away: I'm at my 3rd top-end NVidia, since 2010. Switching from cheap craps to very expensive video cards is probably the biggest source of savings I've ever done hardware-wise. Instead of having a litany of time wasting problems, immediate obsolescence and replacement every year or so, I can just drive the card until it short-circuit and never have to compromise. They do short-circuit at regular interval, interestingly.
