Fortunately here they take a more pragmatic stance. Legally they ARE entitled to get their property back, but the reality is that the cost of retrieving and disposing exceeds the residual value, so they don't bother.
It may have to do with regulations.
1) When push comes to shove, they have to come pick it up. They can not force me to pay for the cost of returning it.
2) What I can do as a consumer: just throw it in the waste bin, is something they as a company can not. THEY have to dispose of it in an environmentally responsible way. Once it is in their hands it is their responsibility that the lead in the solder does not get into the food chain. Or the cadmium in the batteries does not come into the lungs of the workers. Or... etc, etc..
They can not give my Motorola DOCSIS 2.1 to another customer. It is no longer "state of the art". It will only cost them to get it back and dispose of it. So they will happily dump it on me with a "it is yours, do with it as you please" note.
