hu... Me and the wife scrapped regular trash pick up in favor of driving our trash directly to the transfer station partly so we could say good bye to it personally, before it all goes to Pa. (I think) and they have a trailer where all the electronic stuff goes.... Most of it is 30" or larger CRT or 40" projection sets, portable crt sets, computers, and to date 1 stand up video game with what looked like 30 years of screen burn on it. I did take a ride over to the big recycling center over in the next county... Let me tell you I walked that building for over an hour! I saw our first color tv there, a 1976 Sears Sanyo 15", and lots of other cool toys.... And they have a little museum area for the sets, both tv's and radios they get from the 50's. I was toured around by the company, or location manager, he was really nice, they had a guy there that took some stuff apart, mixed and matched stuff to make working sets and sold them locally. They also refurb. computers, laptops, HD's etc, from companies. He was interested in having me sell HD's for them. They regularly do truckloads of stuff from all over the local tri-state area. I walked around and pointed out some collector type computer stuff they had, and they put it on ebay. I really liked all those people, and had a wonderful time. I think it all depends on how you approach the situation. I would imagine what they would like the least, would be people taking something, parting it out and returning it in condition harder for them to work with.
