Yes, the city of Phoenix has periodic hazardous-materials collection
events
around town, several times a year.  You may have to prove Phoenix
residency.
See this:  http://www.ci.phoenix.az.us/GARBAGE/applianc.html

If you're not in Phoenix, the city might still be able to tell you whom
to
contact in your municipality.  All else fails, arrange to give me the
stuff
at a meeting or stammtisch and I'll take it to the next nearby Phoenix
event
-- I have some other stuff that will need to go.

Saw an article recently, they are working hard to keep computer stuff
out of the landfills -- especially monitors which have a large lead
content.
