Schools often have a lot of STUFF they don't need anymore, especially at the end of the year.  Broken or outdated electronics are often part of that, but so are mostly-unused spiral notebooks, decks of cards, pens, crayons, unused workbooks, etc.  To find out where you can responsibly recycle just about anything, check out the City of Sunnyvale's A-Z Recycling reference (http://1.usa.gov/AtoZrecycle)
