I'd rather not contribute toward poisoning a few kids doing slave labor in some electronics dump in China, so is there any reputable organization here that properly deals with the disposal of laptops? Help is appreciated.

EDIT: Sorry, I should add that while I'd be happy to give it to a charity, it might be a mere headache as the LCD backlight in my old laptop is busted and the monitor is nearly impossible to see in even the best lighting. They would need an external monitor to use it, and an external monitor would probably cost nearly as much as a cheap refurbished laptop anyway.

if you or anyone else in korea would like to dispose of a laptop, you can mail it to me!

I will pay the delivery cost and give you some for your time!

these days I am learning how to take laptops apart and I will properly recycle after I am finished

put it where you normally put your garbage. It'll be gone within the hour.
