but I doubt you'll be able to find a free and legal place to dispose of
them:

Dell also has a recycling program, but you have to mail it to them
(they will take non-Dell stuff), and there's a charge on top of that.  I
don't have the URL handy, but you can probably find it off their home page.

Hope this helps!
