Greetings @Chef-Guy
Welcome to the HP Forum.
I live in the USA.
Many PC repairs shops do PC recycling and component recycling.
And some communities have old: PC recycling and electronic component recycling collection centers.
You might want to either: keep the drives installed in the PC or physically destroy the drives installed in the PC before recycling your PC.

I would recommend removing any of your data by doing a clean reinstall the Windows OS. If you are not intending on receiving any money but donating, try a local Senior Center. I am sure they will help with that.
I'm not an HP employee.
