Sure. Fill out a form online at DMV and they come tow it away for free. Usually you'll end up getting a donation receipt in the mail for its recycle value.
Not sure if its the same, but my grandpa had a 1978 Ford F250 truck that he purchased in 1987 hauled away the other day.... to the crusher. It had set since 1990 and was in bad shape (still was totally rust free, but the engine was bad, as was all of the brake lines, etc), but I was kinda sad to see it go... it had been a fixture there for years.
No, but I'd imagine with a sawzall, cutting torch, and several weeks worth of patience, you could throw out a car bit by bit right out with all the other usual suburban trash pickups.
I'd never do it though. No matter how screwed up a car is, there's always somebody out there willing to pay at least a couple hundred bucks for it.
I once left a Studebaker Lark that died on me, then the snow plows had it buried under. One day a cop comes to the door and said if I dont move it it will be towed. I told him to go ahead and take it!
I've scrapped parts cars before. Once the parts needed were removed for later, the shells got hauled off. Never donated a car. If it was complete enough to be driven/put back togather, it was complete enough to be sold or given to a friend.
Not thrown away as in your two links although I'll give a thumbs up to the fellow who was taking his apart. Sounds like what my old man once did with a window air conditioner when they refused to take it whole, simply cut it up and put it in bags.
But throwing away...no, not like that. Used to pass along the old beasts to the lower family members but they'd either whine because it needed work or they'd junk it for smokes money. Now I trade them off to the local scrapyard for credit for parts for my own vehicles, sort of an insider's deal.
No. They are too heavy, I cannot lift them, and they will nto fit in any trash can that I have ever seen.

I never did, but found these two examples:
