Offer her for free to a trusted member here, drop her off at the Goodwill, (it has happened), or most sadly chop her in to bits and put her out with the trash.

There may even be members here who would be interest in 'reclaiming & recycling' the TPE (if that's what your doll is made of).

Cheers,

And keeping the inventors in mind, access to a skeleton

pair of scissors, cut it up and throw in black industrial bags. Or just give it away to a member here.

I would dispose of it in 3 or so separate loads, leaving out the obvious for last to mix with other trash. Easiest. Pickup for members can be hard, since people can live very far away,
unless you live in a big city where people are likely meet.

If you live in a apartment area, its easy to dispose inside those very large trash bins they use, always loved apt living, If you have a home, have one those regular trash bins you put
outside, probably separate loads for each week to balance out; depending how trash man works by machine operated or by hand.

I break them down to the smallest possible pieces using a good pair of scissors, and little by little throw the pieces out with the weekly trash, to me throwing out an entire doll is just asking for problems.

Assuming that she is not a total mess, put her up for sale:

Do not forget to read the stickies of that subforum.

It is the safest and most cost efficient manner of disposing a doll.

If you're within a couple hours of Philadelphia I will pick her up.

For what one anecdote's worth, I chucked an entire full sized doll in my apartment building's dumpster once and it wasn't a problem.
