Donating university text books and "other stuff"

Other

I would dearly love to find a good place to donate textbooks, and “other stuff” that is routinely left behind when my students tenants check-out at the end of their studies (right now at this time of year).

The “other stuff” includes things like crockery, cutlery, pots and pans, some items of clothing and bedding, CDs, computers and peripherals. It seems such a shame to throw them in a skip, but it is very time consuming to try to find homes for individual items, and now my garage is full!

I would appreciate specific contacts who welcome such things, not vague suggestions like “try charities”, because most of them look for general reading books rather than text books.

Many thanks!
