I have not heard that you can get paid, and I looked into recycling venues for my son’s school, so it’s likely I would have run across if one paid. It generally costs more to recycle e-waste than the amount you pay (like the fee when you buy a computer), so the free e-waste recycle opportunities are a bargain.
There is a type of exchange for useable items, LA Co Materials Exchange:

Try Googling.

Good luck!
