Any safety issues dismantling these various pieces of equipment?
I was asked to haul these away and dismantle for metal content. I don't think any are computer related. I know computer power supply and monitor can have safety risk.
Any others you see here?
Large gel-cell type batteries, each close to 100 pounds.
Uninterruptible power supply with copper wire, transformers, aluminum case.

Take the supply apart, and salvage what you can, but take the battery in it to an approved dump site or recycler.
>> The power supply is estimated to be 150 pounds so it is a big one.
The battery will be a good proportion of that weight. Your UPS manufacturer may recycle the battery. Have a read of http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2011/02/ask-ars-what-do-i-do-with-a-dead-ups/

The power supply had been out of service for over a year. It took me close to an hour to get the transformer out and I can not even pick it up it's so heavy.
All the equipment is dismantled and headed to the scrap yard.
