Old computers?

Does anyone know anywhere in Brooklyn to donate old computers? One is an I-Mac that works, but only is set up for dial up, the others could be repaired or used for parts.

There are MANY schools and organizations looking for computer donations. Among them:

Other non-profits in the NYC area include: Per Scholas, Project PC Renew and Computers for Youth, just to name a few.
You can also try calling Tekserve in Manhattan for additional references, as well as calling the various Apple stores.

I know that build it green in astoria takes old electronics and will clear out all the information on the computers... I think the web site is bignyc.org
