Anyone had any dealings with them in this regard? I expect that they run
a lot of local landfill sites (at least here in the US, but I think
they're a global company).
I've got a contact at my local one who tries to set aside for me
anything that they think I might find interesting, but management policy
is that nothing can leave the site once dropped off, and it sounds like
this rule will be more strictly enforced in a couple of weeks' time
following a site audit.
I was considering contacting their management to see if there's any way
to officially secure vintage items, and was wondering if anyone else has
done this successfully? (In particular, it would be nice to know ahead
of time what their main concerns are - if it's a liability issue, say,
or if they perhaps see monetary value in e-waste)

I suspect that they won't budge. They are contracted to dispose of
items. Period. I don't think their customers would be thrilled if they
found them reselling/ giving for reuse items they thought were being
trashed.
Maybe, just maybe, they can act as an intermediary and get you in touch
with those who own the items to be scrapped...
