I'm curious. How does this work?
What do they do with the stuff they cannot re-use?

The Toronto Solid Waste Drop-off Depots accept old computers too.
What does the City of Toronto do with the old computers?

 From the article in The Star, since August 2004, they have diverted 10 
tonnes from the landfills and given out 50 computers.

Does Toronto dispose of the computers in landfills, here or south?
Or ship them to China for recycling?
