Jeffrey,

There may be some stuff left over after SunRescuers haul the choice bits away.

"Garbage" is a lousy destination for electronics equipment of any kind.  
Computer scrap contains hazardous materials and non-hazardous materials that 
will take forever to decompose in a landfill.

For the stuff that can't be reused, there ought to be many electronics scrap 
recyclers in your area.
