I beg friends for ewaste and harvest their organs.

Even an Oxford comma couldn't save that one.

relevant xkcd My all-time favorite example of syntactic ambiguity comes from Wikipedia: 'Charlotte's Web is a children's novel by American author E. B. White, about a pig named Wilbur who is saved from being slaughtered by an intelligent spider named Charlotte.'

Upgrade my own stuff and servers.
Have spare parts to fix my stuff or quick fixes for friends.
If I can repair it and do not need it, I found some groups that take them for refugees and needy folks or they go by word of mouth to friends in need. I fix them in a very lazy fashion.
I live pretty close to one of the local recycling spots, so I can quickly and safely dispose of stuff I cannot use.
eBay is great.

I have gotten a ton of free storage this way, makes it totally worth it. If they give me a few old laptops, I put all their data on one drive and take the rest.
