Getting rid of stuff that still has play life in it but pieces are lost or you just don't have space for them--I post an ad in freecycle and someone is always willing to take a bag of toys (especially the Happy Meal stuff, oddly).
Broken stuff--have you considered the "Broken Toy Fairy"? Setting broken stuff out in a bag for the Broken Toy Fairy to take away, fix and give to kids who don't have toys? Then replace with a bag of appropriate treats (candy, stickers, etc.)?
I have to admit, I'm reaching for ideas because Owen isn't quite as attached to his broken toy horde as Casper.
