Rich,

 Don’t we all?  I have ¼ of my datacenter that needs to be EBayed or donated.

When Staples is fully open for returns, they will take anything, even laptops in pieces.I have never had them turn away a donation of a laptop or desktop due to age. (I even dropped an old IBM PS1 off. Two years ago.)

It turns out that the goodwill centers all take electronics of all types 
in conjugation with Dell: https://www.dellreconnect.com/

This is an especially good option since it (best I can tell) is free and 
takes all types of computers, accessorizes and other electronics.
Staples seems limited to relatively current laptops or other, and most 
other places want $10/machine (some are $5)

I have been adding all suggested to 
http://www.hidden-tech.net/project/free-cycle-and-share/

BTW, not clue about "P Allen & Sons, the recycling yard on Route 10" - 
all I can find is a company in KS

Thanks all - stay safe - Rich
