    Are there any in Ireland? I see some in the UK and the US but can't really find anything in Ireland.

    We have a few old computers, printers, monitors, UPS. Not sure how many are in working condition but there's bound to be useful parts in it.

    Not sure about charities but sometimes schools want them. Might depend on how fussy their IT Co-ordinator is, though.

    Camara do, but I'd ring and let them know the state of the stuff before sending anything to them.

    There is a company called computer for Irish schools that will take computers and monitors etc.They wipe them and then reload the machines and send them on to schools in Ireland,

    they're worth checking out!

    The Jack and Jill Foundation take all that kind of stuff. We have a box for it in our school and they come and collect it when it's full

    Hi
    I help with RSPCA - There is a shop in Ballina (little one, space a factor). They work very hard and for a good cause. Could leave in stuff there but the big stuff put an ad in the window maybe. Always someone looking for computers, but they need to be in working order. Thanks .
