I thought companies these days prefer to scrap old PC's rather than give them to schools/charities etc because of the risk of being sued?
ISTR a case a few years back of someone suing because an old PC was donated to a school or something and it went wrong in some way.
You give away a PC, it blows up, you get sued basically.  I know a few co's I've worked for just dumped their old machines because of this sort of thing - they didn't want to take the risk......
Also, you have to spend time to wipe the disks because you cannot supply an OS etc without proper licensing.  Can you imagine the effort involved in wiping 200 hard disks, rather than just dumping them in the nearest skip?
 
Where do you work?  Where's your nearest skip? :o]
