I usually grab old PCs from the loading dock before they go out for recycling. I know that they're not refurbed, they only ever go for disposal. I usually test them out, tidy them up, and throw in any RAM or better CPUs I have lying around. If I don't think I can make a decend PC out of it, I strip it for parts, and tear it down to steel / plastic / wires / boards and take it to the eco centre.

Your company should be paying you for all that work. That's their waste, not yours, and it is their responsibility to recycle it properly.

But I fully understand if that's not a fight you want to pick at work.

In this world, they will probably get in trouble for stealing company property, even if that property is garbage.

It's other companies garbage, not mine. ;) I make sure stuff here gets refreshed and donated.
