Any hardware and books that aren't wanted by others would probably be welcomed by Southampton Makerspace[1]; we can't promise to be a good home but it's better than sending them to the dump. If we can't find a use for them directly (for their intended purpose) then we'll try and take them apart and make use of their juicy innards - motors, lasers, voltage regulators, connectors, buttons, etc.
Plus it'd be nice for is to start a bit of a mini technical library...
We're generally not so interested in software though.
Of course offer them to HantsLUG/Freecycle members first; but if there's no takers (and you'll just trash it otherwise) then drop an email to donations@??? :)
Cheers,
Benjie.
