Original Title: Old desktop mac
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 15.1
You'll need to buy or borrow a keyboard and mouse that do work.
Then see What to do before you sell, give away, trade in, or recycle your Mac - Apple Support .
Which exact model Mac? Since you are recycling it you do not have to get it into re-selling condition. The only concern might be data on the drive. With some older Macs a drive wasn't all that hard to remove and you could remove it and deal with it separately.

It doesn't have to be an Apple keyboard and mouse.
Most any USB Generic, Logitech or PC keyboard and mouse will work.
How do I factory reset an old desktop Mac with a non-functional mouse and keyboard?
