There is a Vancouver-based non-profit called FreeGeek (https://www.freegeekvancouver.org/ https://www.freegeekvancouver.org/) that takes in e-waste, salvages usable parts and sells them back to fund their tech-education efforts. I'm surprised that this does not exist in Silicon Valley, it most certainly should.
Edit: fixed the link
