  Instead of throwing why not change for cash? Even $20 or $30 better than nothing right?

  Call those numbers you find in newpaper on weekdays classified. Make sure you give them the model and let them give u a quote and tell them the condition of your lappy etc.

  depends on which part of the laptop is spoilt...then see if there are people willing to take in the laptop lor...example like if the lcd screen of the laptop is spoiit...someone with an extra monitor would be able to connect to ur laptop and make it useful rather than being thrown into the bin...recycling bin included.

  I wouldnt suggest any kind of bin unless the laptop is really dead.

  Sell it to a second hand dealer?
  
  Heck, what's wrong with the laptop in the first place? If it's not too badly spoilt, you might want to consider getting it repaired or something...

  If motherboard not fried, repair it and reuse it. If not, you can consider repairing it and donate it if you feel the specs are low.

  don't know what's wrong...
  
  cannot start...
  
  sometimes, half way during OS boot up.. will auto shut down (like without power)...
  sometimes, even before OS bootup...
  
  am thinking of BIOS fried, or motherboard siao liao..
