Find a nearby electronics recycling company and make sure they are reputable. There has been issue with e-waste (electronic waste) being exported to developing countries that can not properly handle it.

A good company in the United States is All Green Electronics Recycling www.allgreenrecycling.com. They offer free service and have over 100 drop-off locations and do free pick-ups all across the country.

*Do not throw it away in the trash* Environmental damage may be caused if electronics are thrown away into landfills.

Drop off your electronics at electronic recycling plants, drop off sites, or sometimes the original store takes back old technology to recycle. Much of the plastics, glass, and the hardware in the electronics gets recycled into making new electronics.

Another Answer

You can always spend a few dollars on upgrading the hardware. I put an SSD in my old computer and it's pretty fast now. I didn't even bother with adding more RAM. I didn't need it after I put the SSD in. I'm guessing that it will cost you around $50-$60 to put a smaller SSD in.
