Hmm ...
1. Nothign sounds right. "Thrower away" probably sounds least wrong
2. "Blower upper", probably. "Blower up" works too, but it's probably
not what I would say
3. Nothing sounds right. "Caster aside" probably sounds least wrong
I'd probably just reword a sentence that required that to avoid the -er
all together, saying something like "the person who threw it away"
