HP LaserJet 4M. 8000 pages on the counter, roughly one cartridge worth. I found it sitting on the curb in Queens getting rained on with some garbage. Took it home, gave an error code. Found out the error code means "I want a toner cartridge!" Worked fine after that for years, until the fuser blew a little before I moved to SA. New fuser lamp on ebay = $20, but I'm not home to install or use it anyway.
We're the people who trash monitors like that. We ditched all our working monitors to the curb last spring. There were simply too many here, and 15" is simply too small. I think someone picked them all up, though, so that was nice for them, I'm sure.
Did you try charity first? Or perhaps recycling? There IS lead in them, and cities often times will fine you for throwing out something "hazardous" with the trash.
They don't fine you, they just leave it there. We just put them out assuming someone would come by and pick them up, which they did. To actually get rid of any of the electronics, you have to haul it yourself and pay per piece. E-waste is expensive. Thus, the garage has a lot of dead parts at the moment.

Besides, I don't pay my own electric. And anyway... they auto-off after 15 minutes.

Maybe near you, but we have a place that lets you bring in stuff twice a year for free.
