I got a box full of a bunch of stuff from over the years. Some big, some small, some expensive, some cheap. It seems like a shame to throw it all in a landfill, with or without personal data.

Search for a nearby electronics recycle company.

Can also check with Best Buy or Staples. (No idea if those are available near you). They may take at least some stuff.

Skip Best Buy and those guys. Find a local mom and pop repair place. They can likely use and resell some of it and are more likely to actually recycle the rest.
