Dependin where you live there should be someone that specialises in disposing of electrical equipment. Have a look in the Yellow Pages under Waste Disposal. They might charge you but if they do it will probably be a nominal fee. Let me know what area you are in and I'll see if I can get a number for you.

I doubt many charities will take it due to the legislation involved in recycling them. They may also not want to handle them incase they contain anything dodgy and they become implicated somehow.
