If its a machine that is still fine for E-mailing and Internet, then see if there are any charity organisations or Recycle-A-PC type of shops in your area where they will gladly take them off you.

However if it is a really old machine that is more likely to electrocute you if you switch it on, chop off the plug and take it to your local city tip to be destroyed.

PS: If you have anything sensitive on the hard drive, do a full format before donating the PC.
