3. There's a tax on new electronic equipment that pays for recycling.

That's why places will take your old gear without b-tching. They get paid to do so.

You already paid for the recycling. Nobody wants the really old stuff. Charities can't sell it.

Excludes collector's items, which you don't sound like you have.

I have an old HP all-in-one that actually will scan multiple pages via sheet feed, so even after I've given up on it as a printer, it does what the much nicer scanner won't do.
