In my experience, all of the hackerspaces in my area are completely full, and have no space for further donations. I've been trying to offload some materials for a while, they just don't need them.

I have an address you can ship em too in that case.

Melbourne? Because shipping just isn't worth it, it's gonna be $50 minimum.

You send me a shipping quote and I'll send you funds so you don't have to pay freight. Feel free to DM me.

You're US based?, it's about $35 USD, but the laptop isn't worth that much.

If I can't give it away locally, it'll get ewaste recycled, so it's not going to landfill (at least not directly).
