Do you (or anyone else here)  know if they are doing more than just "strip it 
for resalable parts and throw the rest in a scrap metal bin"?

The list of things they will take is a bit sus - yes we'll take your 
projector, Sun or networking gear; but won't take small monitors or 
typewriters. If a laser printer is recyclable, then a photocopier should be 
too, since it basically the same technology. But their list doesn't make it 
so.
