Homeless Wires?

BladesP9 asks: "I'm in the process of moving. As such, I have stumbled upon no less than five boxes of wires and various parts. Everything from PS2, SCSI, FireWire, USB and God knows what. Having forgotten all about this stuff I know I will never be needing any of this again as long as I live. Not to mention the roughly 100 boxes of 10 pack 5.25 inch floppy discs. I could just throw all this stuff away, but I am feeling somewhat guilty about that. Is there anywhere I should look to donating this stuff? It doesn't seem like the kind of thing 'Goodwill' would really get use of, but I hate to throw away perfectly good hardware and media if someone could make use of it. I'm looking for suggestions. My wife has given me until the end of the week to find a home for it or I have to take it to the dump."

I have a 1972 Ford Pickup in my front yard, (4 of them actually, 2 on blocks). It is not currently running, and is full of rust, but between the 4, Someone could get 1 of them to work. I hate to throw it out, cause I keep telling my wife, and her parents, and her sister and her family (that all live with us) that one of these days, I'm going to get it to work. I also have a few "spare" washing machines out in the front yard. Do you know of someone that I could "give" these to, so I don't have to take the trouble of disposing of them properly? I hate to throw them out, as someone could, with a bit of work, have a working washing machine and 72 pickup.

Man, the poster sounds like the packrat rednecks that live in my town..
