how do I recycle an old iMac?

I have a 2006 iMac that no longer works and I would like to have it recycled rather than through it in the trash. How do I go about doing this (I am not trading my old iMac for a new one)

You can trust Apple Trade In: Apple Trade In - Apple. They offer free recycling.
