Recycling - i don't know.  But you might want to donate them to charity.  
If you contact Thrift Shop 2 in Edinburgh
(http://tinyurl.com/2ahqs) they can point you to the Thrift Warehouse in 
Leith that seem to take in a lot of computery things.

If that's too far you might find another willing to take them at 
http://www.on-lineedinburgh.com/matrixCharityShops.asp but be aware many 
charity shops refuse electrical equipment as they have no means (or 
budget) to safety certify them.

There may be other national charities that ship old hardware abroad to 
less technologically up-to-date lands where they can be still be useful, 
but i'm not aware of who or where they might be.

Hope that helps anyway,

Tom
