In Australia we just take it to an electronics retailer since 2011 - as they are now legally required to accept it and send it on to a certified e-waste disposal partner, provided they import over a certain threshold (avoids overburdening small businesses). For example if the store sells computers they have to accept computer e-waste, so you can drop it with them - even if you didn't buy it there. It is all free.
