Check out Mega Byte Support
(http://www.jobswest.com.au/megabyte/home/index.html). They're in Fremantle
and will take any and all computer equipment - functional or not. They reuse
what they can (in a similar fashion to Computer Angels) and recycles the
rest - essentially everything but the tubes in monitors is recycled. It's
run as a work-for-the-dole type scheme. Used them a couple of times now
myself and they'll come out and pick up the equipment from you if required.
