Is there any chance of rescuing any of this still-useful equipment? Even just 
the "small stuff", like RAM or CPU chips, video cards, HD's, etc? There are 
plenty of folks who could and would gladly accept such for upgrades or 
replacement of older tech.

The parts that went into my "B.O.B." ham transmitter were all rescued from 
the dumpster, here.
