You have to take some electronic stuff to drop off - that's the key - where I live you can find e-waste outside the front of people houses waiting for the council to come get it. Pick it up and put it in your car boot to take to the e-waste facility. I go to the e-waste facility and just open the boot of the car and drop off the ewaste I bought and if there's something interesting I put it in the boot. Give and take. There's no-one watching - I guess that depends on the e-waste facility, but I've never seen anyone watching. No doubt if the workers there saw you doing it they would object because that's not the purpose of the e-waste facility. I don't feel like it's stealing or doing anything wrong because the stuff in there is destined to be crushed. Maybe try a range of different e-waste dropoff points till you find one that works. The one I go to (in Australia) - last time I went it had four giant bins stacked full of stuff. Frustratingly the e-waste was closed because it was so full so I couldn't pick through it. I could see it was full of computers and stuff.
