Put it BACK on the curb with a "FOR SALE $25.00" sign on it.
It'll most likely be stolen fairly quickly, and since it had a value, they won't bring it back! :lmao:

I prefer underhand for laser printers. I can usually toss an inkjet pretty far with the two hands over the head method. :)
Sorry, couldn't resist.

How dare they?!?! That's hilarious that they took the time to bring it back to where they got it. You might also want to put on the sign that it is broken but could be fixed.

Agreed with a recycling center. They can also give a certificate of destruction so what you dropped off is properly disposed of by law.
