Electronic Recycling.ie (..they charge though - it's not cheap either)

contact your County Council to see if any of their recycling centres that accept IT equipment

Keeks has also compiled a list of Recycling and Waste Management Information resources that you might find that useful.

your nearest FreeCycle Group - if you're in a rush, this won't be much use to you though

That's what I can think of off the top of my head anyway.

Hope that helps

This is what they sent me. It's the 24hr notice that sealed the deal...
Our recycling charges are as follows:

Monitors Euro 18.00
CPU Base Units Euro 9.00
Printers/scanners (desktop) Euro 9.00
Keyboards Euro 1.40
Mice Free of Charge

We also handle any other office electronic equipment, photocopiers, faxes,
phones, etc. These are charged by weight @ Euro 1.10 per KG.
Collection charges vary depending on your location and on the volume of product.
There is a minimum charge of Euro 45.00 for a small collection, up to Euro 250.00
for larger collections. We can usually arrange collection within 24 hours.
Once the goods have been processed at our premises, a Certificate of Recycling will
be generated which contains our Dublin City Council Waste Permit Number, and
which will detail the goods you have sent for recycling. This will cover any
environmental responsibilities under the Waste Management Act of 1996 and the
recently introduced WEEE Directive.
