Default Does anyone recycle electronics?

I have some old worn out motors and some servos that don't work and was wondering if they would be good for parts or should they just be tossed in the trash? I know some people make winches out of old servos or cases but don't know of any uses for old stock motors.
So my question is does anyone recycle old used electronics or are they just garbage?

Here's what I have. None of it is anything special, mostly stock stuff.

I find there is always something from a servo I can recycle. If you're going to trash them, let me know, I'll take them.

Yep like eeepee said motors are cheap in rebuildable silver cans..... Not good for nothing. The servos can be had for the pot and motors. Gear sets on the others may be used..... 645 can be for sure.

I know a couple of the servos work, just had wires pull off the board, and the soldering iron I have isn't the best so I didn't want to try to reattach them.
