Suggested places to donate electronic items?

[ariwriter.livejournal.com]

I have old cell phones, computer cards, a printer... They are taking up space here, and short of trading emails with craigslist poseurs, I'd rather just donate the lot to somewhere that would take them. Does the thrift shop in Davis take this stuff? Or somewhere else?

Thanks!

Wainwright Bank collects old cell phones for use with local battered women centers

Goodwill will take them.

How can one be a poseur of craigslist?

MIT's reuse list (reuse@mit.edu) may also be a likely candidate. People do come out to pick things up (we got rid of privit hedges in front of out house that way. People even dug them up!)

One thing you can do is put them on the curb and post it to CraigsList "Free" section. No interactions, just let people know they are on the curb.

I've had great experiences with Freecycle.

reuse is limited to member of the MIT community. They're reasonably strict about it.
