What I want to know is where I can (legally) pick up used Bird or Lime or Spin or Ofo or Skip scooters. Are they all going in the trash?

Almost certainly. I've seen photos of the acres and acres of perfectly good ebikes being piled up. Makes me absolutely sick to see such utter waste.
Hey, at least you see the waste... think about how much ewaste is invisible. :(
I had the same question a month ago when Revel ended its moped sharing program. What do you do with a fleet of several thousand electric mopeds? Apparently, send them all to recycling plants.
They'll be yeeted into the nearest ocean habitat for endangered species
